In striving to come up with a good definition of street photography, it seems the most simple is the best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any photo you shoot in public is a street photograph. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Photo+graph= light drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street photography as light street drawings. It means you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re using a camera (light capturing device) to make sketches of stuff you see in public places, cities, urban spaces, streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all street<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Jesus<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To me, almost any public photo in a public space is a street photo. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for classification \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I am more interested in looking at photos which speak to me. Photos that somehow interest me \u00e2\u20ac\u201d either the subject matter, my interpretation of the image, or the emotional impact a photo has on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do they need to be strangers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cindy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think so. This is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153street photo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of Cindy walking the streets with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is there a bias towards photographing strangers? Perhaps because most street photographers aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t out shooting on the streets with friends, family, or people they know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, street photos of strangers are just as legitimate as street photos of people you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor street photography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can shoot street photography in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153public-private\u00e2\u20ac\u009dplaces, like Starbucks or coffee shops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Starbucks<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coffee shops are a good place to witness people getting more comfortable and interacting with one another. Even from inside the coffee shop, looking out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hotel lobbies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shoot street photos inside hotel lobbies \u00e2\u20ac\u201d another interesting pseudo-public place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juxtapose with interesting architecture, and switch up the orientation of your camera (vertical and horizontal). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"continental<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inside elevator <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Photograph people inside elevators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Elevator<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Parking garage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or photograph people in parking garages \u00e2\u20ac\u201d on the stairs, or edges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Parking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inside restaurants <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Embrace the blur!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
