street photography

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.

Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic.

Street photography can be described as a genre which aims at capturing opportunistic moments of an unsuspecting urban public space within a camera’s frame. Although the word street can be found in the very name of the movement, this sub-genre of photography does not strictly demand that the image is made on the actual street.
