	Street photography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 tends to be ironic and distanced from its subject matter and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment.
		Many classic works of street photography were created in the period between roughly 1890 and 1975 and coincided with the introduction of small 35mm, rangefinder cameras.

	Street Photography
		Street photography is not about photographing poverty, squalor or misery, it is not about photographing homeless people on the streets, it can show humorous, funny, sad, joyful etc moments.
		If the street photographer is a "mugger" as is suggested in one of the previous comments then HCB is the greatest "mugger" known so far and I would dream about being a "mugger" like him and of course never be able to achieve that dream.
		I believe that the idea of street photography is simple in that you are out to capture fleeting moments that describe an environment or people interacting and the medium in which you do this I think matters not.

	Street
		For a street photograph to be successful I think that something in the scene has to speak meaningful to the photographer, even if what that something is isn't immediately apparent.
		Effective street photography is about telling a story in a single frame, not simply recording what was there at a particular time and in a specific place.
		While most street photographers would agree that an M-series Leica is probably the preferred tool for this craft, a high quality pocket camera can also nicely do the job.

	News: Calling the Shots - A Guide to Street Photography
		Street photography's main claim to fame is that it's fairly timeless, we can all relate to streetshots and a good streetshot is remembered far longer than most other genres can hope to.
		Streets are not surprisingly a typical place to do street photography, and we often need to show that a street is busy and teeming with life.
		Street photographers are not rated much higher than papparazzi or crime photojournalists by the general public, and the frequent use of candid shots and frequent lack of approval from subjects doesn't really help the reputation.

		As a stock photographer, your own street photography is designed to accurately describe the appearance of the place you are shooting, adding such things as flowing light to characterize the energy of traffic moving through the city.
		Being a street photographer, I differ from your views in that I attempt to capture the flavor of a city, be it buildings, foutains or simply people walking down a street, engaged in conversations, or whatever.

		I knew that Street Photography would thrive off of the computer, for the computer has replaced the darkroom, even for a traditional Street Photographer like myself.
		Street Photography is filled with chemicals, especially in the darkroom, so to do the same thing without them is a natural progression.

	Revisiting Street Photography
		Not only did I feel safe photographing on the streets there, obviously taking the needed precautions one would take in any major city in a contemporary world, but the people were inviting and totally at ease with the notion of having a camera pointed at them.
		We are at the threshold of new paradigm changes in photography, and as with everything else in the world, the term adaptation seems to be the driving force.
		Street photography has undergone a rather dark period for some years, and I believe that we are going to enter a new one with substantial changes in this direction.

	Street Photography
		Street Photography, also known as straight photography, refers to the body of photography that uses scenes from everyday life for its subjects.
		While it is a subset of documentary photography, street photography differs from traditional documentary photography in that it documents a portrait of the world, rather than a specific subject.
		Similarly, although street photography may have a social or political message, it tends to center more on an ironic statement relating to its subject directly, instead of commenting on all similar subjects.

	Flickr: Street Photography... post to topics (riffs)
		"Street photography" is of and about the life, the sense, and the photographic style of the public "street" (basically any place where people meet or move about in - or out from - public view), whether urban, suburban, or rural small town, both outdoors and indoors (e.g., malls, shops, galleries, museums, etc.).
		Street photographs mainly are about how people utilize and interact with the street and its comprising and surrounding elements, but are not limited to human portrayal.
		While many street photos are documentary in style and substance, they can be abstract, funky, or "edgy", and speak about events, emotions, passion, humor, irony, or pathos.

	"Street Photography"
		The question is then, given that the Europeans have ampler resources to create "street photography" images, why is it that not more Europeans have made it their tradition than what can be observed today.
		In reality there is a close relationship between the decline of "street photography" with the downward spiral that has been experienced in the photographic marketplace during the late nineties by documentary photographers or photojournalists.
		Maybe the tradition of "street photography", like all else in contemporary life, will have to find a new way of making images even though the intentions and the gaze might be similar.

	Street Photography in China
		Our travels took us to some classic landscape locations, but we also spent quite a bit of time wandering the streets of rural villages, small towns and even larger cities, including Shanghai with its population of 17 Million people.
		One of the tricks that I sometimes use when doing street shooting is to appear to be focusing (literally, and figurative speaking) at something beyond the person I'm shooting.
		Chris Sanderson and I wandered the streets of this area for the better part of a day, just stopping for a coffee and to rest our legs from time to time.

		One other comment is that the emphasis is on American street photography, to the point that some notable non-American street photographers are excluded completely.
		although there are other reviewers who believe the authors didn't give enough credit to hcb for shaping street photography into what it is today, it is important to note that even in the chapters which focus on the american photographers hcb is continuously cited as a major influence.
		The history of street photography according to the book is such: XIX century, HCB and Europeans, and two larger chapters on Americans, in toto exceeding the first half of the book.

		i really want to try street shooting but i have the fear of when they catch me pointing my camera at them, they might ge mad at me. actually just thinking of shooting someone,for me it's like we're intruding their privacy.

	What is Street photography? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Defining street photography might do injustice to it’s free, liberated and completely non-uniform nature; however, I am so frequently asked about it that I decided to give it a try despite the possible disservice.
		But the bottom line is that each street photographer will find their own meaning and approach therefore whatever definition they might arrive at will work just as well.
		And so clearly street photography has no need for any set of rules and guidelines on HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE, and better be independently created and elaborated by the photographer.

	The Gritty 'Streets of New York' - washingtonpost.com
		Street photography can be many things, social documentary and photojournalism among them.
		Libsohn's sentiment could be the maxim for "Streets." Even a photographer like Weegee (born Usher Fellig), a tough guy known for his lurid crime scenes, was not always the cynic some assumed.
		"Streets" is not about what New York looked like from 1938 to 1958, but about a period when street photography -- all photography, really -- moved away from certainty and toward doubt.

		This section, however, is important, as it demonstrates the various approaches I have undertaken towards street photography, in terms of using colour and fl and white, film and digital, SLR and rangefinder, and taking into account the styles of several influences to look at the various themes that exist in the street, i.e.
