In "Street Photography: Die Kunst, den ungestellten Moment einzufangen," hilft Gordon Lewis den Lesern, die herausfordernde, aber lohnende Welt der Strassenfotografie zu verstehen und zu meistern. Das Buch enthält Diskussionen darüber, warum Fotografen zur Strassenfotografie hingezogen werden, die verschiedenen Stile der Strassenfotografie und was einen grossartigen Strassenfotografen ausmacht. Lewis untersucht dann, wie die Wahl des Standorts den Ansatz eines Fotografen zur Bildaufnahme verändern kann: von Stadtstrassen über Jahrmärkte bis hin zu Stränden diskutiert er den Einfluss unterschiedlicher Umgebungen auf den Prozess der Strassenfotografie. Ein weiteres entscheidendes Element, um ein guter Strassenfotograf zu werden, ist das Lernen, leicht zu reisen, mit minimaler Ausrüstung. Lewis gibt praktische Ratschläge zu allem, von Kameras und Objektiven bis hin zu Kamerataschen und Kleidung. Er geht auch auf die Techniken und Ansätze ein, die Anfängern helfen werden, die Kunst zu meistern.
