Each volume is dedicated to the work of one key photographer who, through a series of bite-sized lessons and ideas, tells you everything you always wanted to know about their approach to taking photographs. From their influences, ideas and experiences, to tech tips and best shots. The series begins with Joel Meyerowitz , who will teach you, among other essentials: how to use a camera to reclaim the streets as your own, why you need to watch the world always with a sense of possibility, how to set your subjects at ease, and the importance of being playful and of finding a lens that suits your personality. Praise for Joel Meyerowitz's retrospective, Where I Find Myself : "So let me say it plainly: Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself is a compelling, wonderful, deeply pleasing collection of an essential photographer's work. [it] is a necessary book. Necessary because of its size and scope. Necessary because of the way it holds the aesthetic of the artist in the air." LensCulture "More than just a career retrospective, Meyerowitz's book is a personal celebration of photography as an art form." Publishers Weekly "After over half a century of making pictures, Meyerowitz is noted as one of the most influential photographers living today. A new book titled Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself brings together his tremendous archive to create a portrait of not only America during the 20th and early 21st centuries, but also a prolific artist with a lifetime of groundbreaking work." BuzzFeed " Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself is a pièce de résistance, a masterful feat of publishing that sets the bar as high as it can possibly reach. The photographer's magnum opus opens in the present day, with his most recent body of work and unfolds in reverse chronological order, leading us through a spellbinding life in photography that is simply unparalleled." Feature Shoot "After 40 years Meyerowitz continues to entice and enthrall with a consistency of vision that reshapes subject matter in his own light. If you are a fan of Meyerowitz's work and especially of Cape Light, this lifetime retrospective will be a treasured addition." New York Journal of Books Review: It is more documentary approach than Street Photography. rather academic , read with concentration. - Excellent Book for Street Photography and Master Joel, Hon. FRPS is really very bold to have used 35mm wide angle lens for 55 years to shoot among groups of people. I prefer to use 135mm F2 to shoot at a distance because people are not that friendly nowadays. Review: Inspiring & Refreshing - I’ve been a fan of Joel Meyerowitz ever since discovering videos of him on YouTube many years ago. The way he speaks so eloquently about the craft he loves has always inspired me. I’ve probably listened to every interview he’s done that is out there to find. As soon as I received “How I Make Photographs”, I was impressed with the graphic design, layout and even feel of this DVD case-sized book. The cover has an unexpected satin finish to the paper used. Once you get the book home and are able to study the cover image, you start to notice the brilliance of Meyerowitz’ vision and talent that he implemented into this particular capture. So many things happening at once and yet you begin to notice how the various subjects are interacting. This, of course, is one of his M.O.’s. One reviewer mentioned that some of Meyerowitz’ works in this book were cropped considerably from their original form to a detriment. This wasn’t done to too many of the photographs. Even when they were cropped down, usually for a chapter introduction, they were later shown in their entirety on a following page. The interesting way Joel captures moments in a frame, is that often times, there are multiple photographs being captured at once. Meyerowitz’ approach to image creation and the way he describes his methods throughout the book are simple and refreshing. He offers insights to some of his most famous photographs. I found myself studying each image in its printed form as I have mainly only seen these on videos in the past. Some have negatively commented on the printing quality of the images in this book. I feel overall, though, they are printed to a satisfactory level. One thing to keep in mind, we are looking at images captured with technology that wasn’t capable of the tac sharp images we have come to expect today. Famous photographer, Art Wolfe, once said that the more time goes by, the softer his older photographs become. No matter where you are in your journey as a photographer, you’ll enjoy having this book in your collection. At this price point, just go for it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #87,384 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Cinematography (Books) #18 in Street Photography (Books) #37 in Individual Photographer Monographs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 723 Reviews | ## Images ![Joel Meyerowitz: How I Make Photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y-mIBPiSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is more documentary approach than Street Photography. rather academic , read with concentration. *by F***G on March 15, 2026* Excellent Book for Street Photography and Master Joel, Hon.
