what is street photography?

street photography is the capturing of photographs by chance of people in an urbanised, built up area. The individuals in the photographs are essentially unaware they are having their photograph taken. Street photograph produces an idea of peoples attitudes and behaviour in public. This type of photography may look like it is breaking ethical boundaries, but if you are out in the public, you almost always have the possibility of being looked at, and in this case photographed.
