• Street Photography is a free and open-ended sort of photography. It
can vary, depending on the style of the photographer. It can be used
for journalism. It is also an art form. A street photographer captures
a moment in time, whether he/she is photographing a bustling city
corner or a man walking down an alleyway.
• There are no rules or limits to street photography and there is no
certain way to do it. However there are photographers who have
natural talent for capturing a scene on a street. Many of the more
famous photos are in black and white, but still this is not a rule.
• A lot of times, street photography involves getting close to people. It
helps to be in the scene when photographing. Places that are
crowded like big cities, carnivals, midways work well for this type of
photography.
"In photography, creation is a quick business — an instant, a gush, a response —
putting the camera up to the eye's line of fire, snatching with that economical
little box whatever it was that surprised you, catching it in midair, without tricks,
without letting it get away. You make a painting at the same time that you take a
photo."
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Brick Lane, London
The Photography of James Lomax
“There are problematic concerns associated with
candid or street photography. There’s a
sociological and psychological culture of
surveillance, a widespread awareness that any
image can end up on the internet and – another
point – relatively few people understand
photographic culture.”
-James Lomax, Photographer
• Nowadays, people are a lot more worried about their
pictures being spread all over the internet then they used
to be.
• A man named Ken Livingston tried to make public
photography illegal in London about two years ago. He
gave up when their were protests from the photography
community.
• Photographers in New York City organized a mass
protest in the subway against recent problems with
security. Security admitted they had no legal right to ban
subway photography and the photographers won the
battle.
