What is Street Photography

Street photography is a style of photography that shows real life as it happens in public places, like streets, markets, parks, and alleyways. It is about taking photos of everyday moments without asking people to pose or act in a certain way. The people in the pictures are usually going about their normal routines, walking, talking, waiting for a bus, shopping, or just relaxing. The goal of street photography is to capture honest and natural moments. It shows how people live, how they interact with each other, and what their surroundings look like. These photos can be emotional, interesting, funny, or even powerful, because they tell real stories without words. Street photographers often need to be very observant and patient. They watch carefully and wait for the right moment to take the photo, this is called the “decisive moment.” Good street photography doesn’t need special equipment or editing. What matters most is timing, feeling, and a strong connection to the scene.
