STREET PHOTOGRAPHY? WHY?

Street Photographers are unique, because they can see images we don’t see. Sometimes when I walk down a street, I don’t find it pretty, I don’t find it that photogenic, but there is a whole different life on the street. And the other interesting thing about street photography is that most people don’t even have a camera when they go down the street. Whether they are trying to be safe or what, not really sure. But, this gallery today of street photography should help us to see what kind of art there is on the street. Here we go:

The question to ask when you see a street photo, like the one above, is what is there I would normally miss, and seems unique? Notice that every individual building is different. Different color, different style, and different design. Now notice how well this photo has some great composition tools in it: Leading lines, photo divided into thirds, and more.

Street photography really is fun if you are good at night photography. Try it, most people will think that you can’t do it because it’s too dark. Wait till they see that photo in a book, or in the newspaper the next day.

Some streets have their own artistry. Amazing drawings, pictures etc. And this is something that may not be there in a year.

When you are in a crowd on the street, you may see and capture that one person that stands out. Keep your eyes open and your camera ready.

Night photography on the street is fun. You capture the excitement of the lights. What makes it even better? It is taking night photos in the rain storm. This is just a great photo.

Sometimes it’s just the people that you need to photograph. They dress for the day in strange clothing some days, others just want to go to the street to be romantic. This is the time to capture the “moment”.
