Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or inquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places.

 “To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliott Erwitt

“It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.”- Alfred Eisenstaedt

“I love the people I photograph. I mean, they’re my friends. I’ve never met most of them or I don’t know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.” – Bruce Gilden

Threshold Concept 7:

Chance plays an important role in photography , to some extent all photographs are the result of chance processes.  a good photographer must have the ability to embrace chance processes in the creation of photographs, welcoming ambiguity, playfulness, serendipity,risk and not knowing in order to discover something new, recognizing discoveries when they materialise.
