The Future of Street Photography

The future of street photography is extremely bright!

Consider:

More and more people are moving into cities, and more and more people are shooting with their iPhones and smartphones.

Which means street photography (will eventually) become the dominant form and genre of photography.

1. More photographers shooting ultra-wide

Consider the iPhone Pro (and new iPhone) with the ultra-wide lens. This is great for street photography; more innovative compositions!

2. New types of post-processing and filters

I’m quite excited for the future of street photographers experimenting more with unusual forms of post-processing. We already have really nice monochrome and color street photos. What new post-processing techniques and approaches have yet been experimented with?

3. Broader definition of street photography

As street photography gains in popularity, there are going to become many more sub-genres of street photography, and infinite more ways how to shoot street photography, or what it is.
