For those new to Street Photography this short guide will give you an introduction and some useful tips.
WHAT IS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY?
Often likened to a mirror held up to society, street photography reflects reality. There is no set-up involved, no manipulation of the scene and no post-processing of the image.
This realism has provided an accurate and insightful record of street culture throughout the world. With images portraying everything from the ugly, gritty side of life to more humorous situations, they are moments that unless captured would otherwise go unnoticed.
At the heart of street photography is the 'decisive moment'. This is the split second when an image becomes complete in its composition - when each element of the image is in balance, in context and essential to the scene. This is when the shutter is released and the moment is captured forever.
