Street Photography

Street photography is most commonly defined as ''photography that features the human condition within public places'' .Personally i have A great admiration for those who can master the art of street photography. Capturing the human in its natural environment is a skill that doesn't come easy capturing a moment of somebody's life that will forever be a physical object. The saying A picture tells a thousand words couldn't be more appropriate than for street photography. A pictures could capture an emotion unknown to the viewer a time in a persons life that is unknown to the viewer but never the less with street photography we will always make up our own stories and i think that's what makes street photography so personal not only to the subject but to the viewer we all translate that imagine in our own way.

The lines between street photography and photojournalism are very thin and often crossed ,so here are a few street / photojournalism photographers that have inspired me :

ERIC KIM :

Eric Kim claims his aim in photography is to make claims about society.

BRUCE GILDEN :

Based on the streets of New York famous for his candid up close shots.

WILLIAM KLEIN :

In my view Klein is the god of street photography growing up in times of political unrest gave Klein opportunity to capture some amazing photographs with his film camera. I get most of my inspiration from his work

On Saturday me and my friends went out and tried to replicate the style of these iconic photographers

The following pictures fit loosely into the street photography bracket....(ish)
