Hi guys,
In this article I’m going to share with you about an interesting topic of photography, and quite controversial, which is Street Photography. I will also explore how an image could be included in this category, and the challenges and rewards of capturing the photos.
Street photography is one of many kinds of photography. It could be a single or series of photos, which shows an object as it is. This particular type of photography emphasizes the object as the point of interest in public space.
Street photography is an art photography which shows human conditions and its interaction in public spaces, without necessarily showing a street. The origin of the term ‘Street’ refers to a time rather than a place. The time (street) could be when a couple is dating, a person is exercising, or a woman walking in an open space surrounded by people working.
The public space does not necessarily have to be a street. Other public spaces like a cafe, mall, market, or even garden can be used as a public space. The point of interest can also vary. For example people, events, tools, equipment, weather, shadows, and many others.
In other words, street photography is like mirroring what is happening in the society. There is no manipulation or specific instructions to the person in the image to do a certain pose.
Now I would like to continue to discuss what makes street photography. What elements are required for the image? Well, here are some lists which I would point out.
1. The photo should be taken in a public space. Studio photography is definitely not street photography. There has to be an element of “candidness”, unplanned fixed poses in the picture.
2. Showing a moment in society as it is, without any manipulation. Again, there has to be an element of candour in a public space with an urban feeling.
3. The photo theme should be normal activities in daily life.
4. The person in the image should be presented not as an individual, instead as an anonymous character in a public space.
The interesting fact about street photography is that, this particular photography genre is not common among photographers. Only few photographers are really into this particular genre of photography. The good news is that the moments captured in the photos could happen only once in a lifetime. That is why street photography could be extremely valuable, due to its scarcity and uniqueness.
The bad news is that it can be challenging for photographers, especially for those who cannot remain calm under pressure. Many times people don’t like their photos taken by a stranger. They may shout and get angry at you or ask their photos to be deleted.
