What is Street Photography?

Street photography is an inherently clunky term, and because of this there are many street
photographers that dislike it. They consider themselves photographers, plain and simple.
The first image that typically comes to mind for the term street photography, is
an image of a
stranger just walking down the street
in a city like New York, London, or Tokyo. This is a huge
part of street photography of course, but it is only one part, and it can cause confusion over the
true meaning of what street photography really is all about, and how it can be done.
Street photography is candid photography of life and human nature. It is a way for us to show
our surroundings, and how we as photographers relate to them. We are filtering what we see, to
find the moments that intrigue us, and to then share them with others. It’s like daydreaming with
a camera.

While many may consider term as clunky, there is an elegant side to it as well; that I think is
often missed. The street is the most public and accessible of places. Street photography is
the most public and accessible form of photography. Anyone can do it. You do not need an
expensive camera. You do not need a big studio, professional lighting, or beautiful models. We
all have the same content out there, and it’s up to us to figure out how to capture that and bring
it home.
In addition, while technical quality is always important to every form of photography, it is not
celebrated in street photography in quite the same way. A nature or landscape image needs
to be sharp. It usually needs to be able to be printed at large sizes with great technical quality.
In these genres you can pick the perfect location, frame it the perfect way, choose the perfect
equipment and settings, and continue to come back until you get the perfect lighting.
