Street photography

Definitions 

Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random events within public places. Street photography can focus on people and their behavior in public.

A candid photograph is a photograph captured without creating a posed appearance. This can be achieved in many ways, for example when the subject is in motion, by surprising the subject, by not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos etc.
