Photos Due: Street Photography
Photos due into Photo Contest Pro by midnight for Street Photography Evaluation (October 15)
Category Definition
At its most basic, street photography is candid photography made in public situations. In photographic terms “street” is not limited to roadways as the word might suggest. It is a stand in for any public setting. Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. The chief concern is life in general, and its reduction into frames that stand alone and visually work. This requires a careful selection of visual elements to include and exclude from the final composition, and great attention on the moment selected for exposure.
