Description

Street photography is a genre of photography that involves capturing candid and unstaged moments of everyday life in public places for artistic or documentary purposes.

The photographer observes and reacts to scenes as they naturally unfold, without directing the subjects or manipulating the environment. People are often the primary focus but evidence of human activity, such as a discarded object or a shadow, is often enough to convey a sense of human character or social context.

Street photography should go beyond a simple snapshot, telling a story about the human condition, society, or culture at a specific time and place.
