Street photography is a type of documentary photography. It’s about documenting the human condition, recording peoples’ states as they go about their lives. Most simply put, street photography is taking candid shots of people in public places such as streets, cafés, malls, and about anywhere human life exists.
For a shot to make it as a street photo it needs to be able to tell a story, it should be able to make an impression, it should be able to transfer an emotion. Street photography is not about making the right composition, following the right rule, or making the best measurement. It is solely about telling a story. It is about speaking to the viewer. It is about having someone wonder, or connect to a person in that split of a second that the shutter goes off and that vision is recorded and saved for good.
An area that aspiring photographers may have difficulty with is shooting close portraits of strangers. After all, human beings are protective and defensive by nature, and if someone feels their own personal space is being violated, they most probably are going to react. I’ve written a post in the past providing a few pointers on how to approach people in the street to take their photo (more about that can be found here).
Below I’ve shared a collection of some wonderful examples of colored as well as black and white people & street photography for you to check out, and hopefully find some inspiration.
