Alex Webb: La Calle: Photographs from Mexico Hardcover – September 15, 2016

Amazing photography. Excellent book with some photos that have not been published in Webb's other books. Some of the images appear in "The Suffering of Light." I own both books, but "The Suffering of Light" is bigger and higher quality (IMO), so if you're choosing between the two, I'd go with that one. "La Calle" is fantastic though, and some of the images that I have not seen elsewhere are just breathtaking. So get both books if you can. "La Calle" has an interesting build quality to it. The print quality is nice, some images are printed large across two pages so you can really see the details. The gutter is a little annoying at times though. Also, the pages extend all the way to the edge of the cover (pages and cover are flush), creating kind of a "notebook" or "journal" feel to the book. It's an interesting design, but I worry that the edges of the pages will get easily damaged. Overall A+ 5 Star because the images are stunning.

Alex Webb is one of the premier living street photographers of our time. The photographs in this book are "from" Mexico, not "of" Mexico except in a belonging way, and communicate the essence of life in this beautiful country. If you are familiar with Alex Webb and his multi-layered, color-laden photos capturing moments of every day life in his unique style you will not be disappointed. If you are not familiar I highly recommend you purchase this book from a master artist. There are no Photoshop tricks or exaggerated bokeh in this photography. Context for the subjects is never missing and provides the necessary elements to tell the fascinating stories so inherent in all of Alex's work.The photos are beautifully printed and the book and binding are high quality.

This is a beautiful photography book. Mr. Webb's use of light and shadow, as well as his unexpected subject matter, make it quite a treat. I have given this as a gift several times, and it's been universally admired.

Was hoping for photos that would show the beauty of Mexico, but none there. Disappointed. Wish I had not bought it.

This book will surely become a classic in photography history. Really amazing and impressive.

My favorite book of 2016 so far. The high water mark of color street photography.

excellent street photography

Look at the cover of this book and ask yourself How did this image happen? Go ahead, do it.... This is portrayed as a 'street photograph' not 'fine art'; in the latter you can 'arrange' the image and even change it in post. Do you think Webb 'happened across' this scene in the street, i.e., a midget or legless person or folded up person with eye makeup? Is the person 'put there' or added in post? I'd bet a valued possession it's the latter.I have found between 10 and 15 Webb 'street photos' like this, and suspect others were arranged.

by a master photographer. The book is of good quality as are the prints.

Alex Webb é um mestre da fotografia de rua.Esse livro transmite sua maestria de maneira afiadíssima.Impressão e acabamentos exemplares, como a muito tempo não vejo nos livros nacionais.Não pense duas vezes.

Great Book!

Il libro è ottimo, con fotografie molto complesse, come Alex Webb ci ha sempre abituato ad aspettarci, e delle poesie/testi che accompagnano le foto. Un bel viaggio in uno dei paesi più complessi della terra

Muy recomendable para todos aquellos que les encante la Fotografía en color. Magnifica encuadernación, diseño y precio. Este libro y el de Glasgow de Depardon son un maridaje perfecto para los amantes del color.
