Street Photography: A Brief Definition
It is a branch of realistic fine-art photography that records unposed scenes in public places (streets, parks, restaurants, stores,
museums, libraries, airports; train, bus, and subway stations, etc.)
The primary subject is people, at rest or in motion, alone or with
others, going about the every-day activities of life (walking, sitting,
standing, waiting, reading, eating, talking, listening, laughing,
daydreaming, greeting, parting, working, playing, shopping, viewing art,
sightseeing, etc.).
The emphasis is not on the subject's personal identity, as in
portraiture. And unlike photojournalism, there is no news here, rather,
the commonplace; although, the line between photojournalism and street
photography is often blurry. Many of the best street photographers were
photojournalists. Unlike travel photography, that aims to entice the
viewer to visit a certain place or to fondly remember it, location is
relatively unimportant, though busy cities with interesting architecture
are commonly seen in these works.
The primary emphasis is on capturing a fleeting composition, a
temporary arrangement of lines, forms, textures, and tones--balanced
within a rigid frame. While such photographs often document clothing
styles or automobile design, these details are subordinate to the artistic
elements; whereas, in strict documentary photography, content is more
important than artistry. In street photography, the image can be sharp or blurred and
impressionistic. Many images feature strong graphic elements which--
considered separately--constitute interesting geometric patterns.
Consistent with their overwhelming interest in composition, many street
photographers--not all—shoot with a black and white final image in
mind, eschewing color as a distraction. Another reason for this is the
generally-conservative nature of the discipline. The early masters are
revered and emulated, their styles and shooting techniques studied.
Some purists not only insist on shooting un-posed scenes, they attempt
to compose entirely in-camera, without cropping. Finally, the tone of
these images tends to be positive, celebrating life and its fleeting nature
in the very act of seeing and seizing and sharing momentary beauty and meaning with the viewer. Larry E. Fink
