    "I've downloaded, printed and have been reading your "Going Candid..." book for the past hour and I could not put it down! (and yes, I am at the office at work right now, lol).
    It is very comprehensive, very easy to read! It's like listening to a friend talk in front of you while having coffee. I love that I am able to relate to it in a lot of ways and learn from it at the same time. It's such a great resource for photographers like me who are just starting to explore the world of street photography.
    Thank you so much, Thomas, for this abundant generosity, for sharing your knowledge to the world. I have become a big fan of your work overnight and I wish you continued success in your work.
    Much respect to you, my friend! =)

    ""Going Candid" Was not only a great read, but very informative... Having dabbled in Some street photography before, this book really ties things together. It gives me insight into the mind set of someone who wants to pursue street photography as well as the tips to get closer to your goals. Over all Very impressive and extremely helpful!"

    "Thomas has a clear, no frills vision on what street photography should be all about, and is more than willing to share this advice with others. If in doubt, just browse through his stream to admire all the wonderful portraits he's taken. Better proof that he knows what he's talking about it impossible."

    "All I can say is wow! Thomas Leuthard is not only an amazing photographer but he is willing to share his art, his style, his science with fellow photogs. His e-book, "Going Candid" is just overflowing with info and personality. And while I've never met him in person, I I feel I know him after reading it! If you want to shoot "street" you need this book!"

Theory & praxis on the Streets of Zurich. Thomas is a good teacher. He also has a great sense of humor. I was also very impressed by his generosity & kindness. If you get the chance to do a workshop with him… I can highly recommend it! It was a real pleasure to meet him."
