Street Walker is a stunning exploration of social change, cultural diversity, and creative expression, from serene suburban curbs to the iconic nightlife of clubs. Street Walker is a vivid narrative of an era, capturing the essence of American life with humor, empathy, and a keen observational eye. Known for her ability to blend street photography with documentary, Meisler’s work in Street Walker provides an intimate glimpse into the dynamic cultural landscape of late 20th-century America. This captivating limited-edition hardcover book designed and made in Italy is curated by Marco Savarese, and features text by Gulnara Lyabib Samoilova (founder of Women Street Photographers) and Lucrezia Bonarota.
Meryl Meisler’s approach is deeply personal and immersive, often forming a connection with her subjects that brings out genuine and unfiltered moments, making her work both compelling and relatable. Inspired by the works of Diane Arbus, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Brassaï, and her father Jack Meisler’s family albums, she began her photographic journey in the 1970s. An illustrator and schoolteacher by day and an incredible photographer by night, her calling was photography, “I didn’t go to photograph. I photographed where I was going.” Meisler’s artistic approach blends elements of documentary and street photography, characterized by a playful yet insightful perspective. Her work frequently explores identity, community, and the interplay between public and private life. Meryl Meisler has maintained a unique ability to capture spontaneous and candid moments throughout her career.
