The Official Streetpreachers, group of fundamentalist Christians in the United States, publicly express their conservative Christian views. In doing so, they do not hesitate to insult or revile those who disagree with them. They go out onto the streets with signs and clothing printed with Biblical texts and commandments, and scream slogans such as 'Burn in hell!' at unwitting passers-by. Their methods are sometimes so aggressive that the police find it necessary to step in. Martin Specht photographed the Streetpreachers in Miami.

As a photojournalist Martin Specht (b. 1964, Germany) reported on wars in the Balkans and Africa. In recent years he has focused primarily on the United States.
