StreetShootr’s Take
Matt’s prints are £100 or approximately $152 USD. A little more than the Magnum Square Prints until you do the math… The image area of a horizontal 35mm shot in the Magnum Square Print sale is 5.5″x3.667″ or 20.1685 square inches. That’s $4.96 per square inch. The image area for Matt’s prints sale is 6″x9″ or 54 square inches. That’s only $2.81 per square inch. You see? Matt’s prints are a bargain conpared to those Magnum prints!! I’m going to need to get all four.
All kidding aside, each of the images in the Matt Stuart print sale is popular enough to be considered iconic and this is a great chance to own a piece of modern street photography history at a price that’s an absolute bargain. If you have any disposable income at all this would be a great way to spend it!
Me? I’m leaning towards those lips!
