Street Photography

“Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph”
                                                                                                               – Andre Kertesz

Capturing people and the scenery with proper composition, photographing people without being noticed by the subject and bringing the feeling and emotions in that one click is a part of street photography. It features subjects in a situation within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls etc. The primary subject is people, at rest or in motion, alone or with others, going about the everyday activities of life. The techniques used are the same as that of straight photography as it is to show a pure vision of a situation. More than anything, Street Photography is an attitude and an openness to being amazed by what comes in your way. A beginning to recognize that extraordinary, beautiful and subtle stories that occurs every day in your life in front of you. Street photography is an art that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or the urban environment. While photographing, observing the surroundings and feeling the elements that makes up the life of that particular place, especially light, is important for street photography.

Photographs taken are usually unplanned. These photographs mostly involve people in which most of them do not even have a clue that they are being photographed. Street photography go hand in hand, any day, any time, and any second you just need to have a feeling to capture that moment and keep your creative eye open.
