Flip the card over for an example image, and turn to the enclosed booklet when you need more detail. Also includes 10 bonus cards of inspirational quotes and key tips from some of the legends of street photography, from Daido Moriyama to Joel Meyerowitz.

Forget about lenses, shutter speeds and apertures – just grab your camera or phone, pull a card, and get out there!
