Street photography is a category of photography that is not pre-planned or prepared and relies on chance encounters with people in public places as they go about their days. For this Photo shoot I went to Kings street in town and also visited liberty wharf/square, the market and Royal square. I chose these visitor hot spots as they are very popular with the public but also is a place where people act very naturally and can interact with the public.

I really liked doing this photo shoot as it allowed me to experience the bustling streets of St .Helier at times where I wouldn’t usually be able to experience that atmosphere. But during this photo shoot I felt a little bit guilty due to me photographing people when they were unaware that I was doing so, it felt like I wasn’t respecting their privacy and exposing them.

I was really happy with the outcome of some of my photographs as I got to see and now show how everyday people, whether it be tourists, young mum’s, people on their lunch break or people who work in the market serving others. But like every photo shoot I had some photos in there that I didn’t like as I was either too far away or there wasn’t a person in focus or the actual camera shot.
