Street photography is a branch of realistic fine-art photography. It mainly features human conditions in public places; however, it is not restricted to urban environments. Street photography takes records of the human scene in streets, restaurants, stores, libraries, parks, airports; trains, museums, buses, among other places. It records daily human activities such as reading, playing, shopping, swimming, sitting, standing, eating, and partying among others. In addition, street photography also includes records of objects or environment that projects a human character in an aesthetic and facsimile manner.

 

Contrary to the primary focus of most photographs, street photographs are not concerned with the artistic effect of the photo, for example, a documentary photograph that puts more emphasis on the content of the picture. In street photography, you expect to see both sharp and blurred impressionistic image.

 

Black & white? I see mostly in tones as I'm colourblind! Strangely, I see colour in a black and white image.
