2. Street photography is the type of photography
that documents a public place. It is a tradition
that is nearly as old as photography itself.
Street photography is usually taken in urban
areas where life moves quickly.
What is street photography?
‘It’s like holding up a mirror to society.
3. What is the decisive moment?
The decisive moment is where you capture a
moment where if you had taken the picture a
couple of second before or after the image
wouldn't’t give out the same feeling.
4. Ethical considerations.
Don’t take an image that might offend a person.
Don’t take images of homeless people, unless it
is benefiting them in some way.
Don’t take images of people close up without
permission.
Don’t take images of children.
5. Do’s:
Smile, it relaxes people.
Ask people for permission.
Be respectful of people.
Don’ts
Take images where children are the main focal
point without permission.
Stalk people.
Take an image of a homeless, religious or
disabled person without permission.
Take images of security operations.
Take images that are offensive.
Do’s and Don’t’s
7. Stuart Beesley.
I like that the image is in colour. Usually street
photography is in black and white but I think
that it gives the image a hint of dullness. The
image makes me wonder what the girl is doing
because she has no shoes on and is right next to
a swan. I think that the fact that you can have
your own interpretation on the image makes it
an even better photo.
8. Stuart Beesley.
The photo was taken by Stuart Beesley. Stuart is
a beginner in photography and he took this
image on a London Street Photography Walk
held in August 2012. I like the style that he has
because he uses lots of colour, rather than black
and white. He also seems to focus on people
rather than objects.
9. What I wanted to achieve.
With my street photography I wanted to take
images of everyday life but I wanted them to be
different to typical street photography. I took
normal photographs and I decided that I
wanted to edit them to make them unique.
Some of my images are in black and white with
a touch of colour this gives it a different feel.
All of my photos are colourful and bright.
