Street photography is about capturing the decisive moment—the split second when all elements align to tell a story.

Finding Your Voice

Every street photographer develops their own style over time. Some focus on geometric patterns and shadows, while others seek raw human emotion.

Equipment Matters (But Not As Much As You Think)

The best camera for street photography is the one you have with you. That said, there are some considerations:

  • Size matters: Smaller cameras draw less attention
  • Silent shutter: Essential for candid moments
  • Fast autofocus: Helps capture fleeting moments

The Ethics of Street Photography

Always respect your subjects. While public spaces generally allow photography, being considerate and respectful should be your guiding principle.
