Street Photography

The Art of Street Photography

What is street photography?

A reflection in every day life- real, unaltered impressions of public places, places that people visit every day, the street where you live, the parking lot of your favorite grocery store, the subway. Street photographers document the truth-take candid pictures of things that you don't notice in your daily grind.

Street photography involves attention to detail. The camera is an unobtrusive extension of the eye and any given situation. Street photographers take pictures they feel; the photographer happens to be there and captures the mood in a fraction of a second. He freezes a moment that you will forget in the same amount of time...

Street is:
About seeing. About being there-alive and awake. Spontaneous. Playful. Reactive. Orchestral. Symbolic.

Street is NOT:
Premeditated. Tableau. Set-up. Contrived.
