Definition of Street Photography:

Street photography is a genre of photography that captures everyday life and public spaces in an unposed and subtle way (which can establish and utilize many different techniques). It typically focuses on people on the streets, urban environments, and spontaneous (or perfect) moments (one of the techniques) that reveal stories, emotions, or interesting visuals. In order to capture the culture and rhythm of the streets, street photography frequently draws attention to the drama, humor, or beauty of everyday events.

Key features include:

• Candidness – people are unaware that they’re being captured and put into the photographer’s works
• Urban settings – shot in cities or busy public areas
• Storytelling – each photograph can often convey a story or an important memory/key idea that the photographer wants the audience to learn
• Realism – emphasizes authenticity/realness than over-exaggerated/repaired products
