Street photography is a genre of photography that captures candid, unposed moments of people and life in public spaces. It often showcases the raw and gritty reality of urban life and the diverse characters that inhabit it. The photographs can range from humorous and lighthearted to profound and thought-provoking, providing a window into the unique experiences and perspectives of people from all walks of life.

Street photographers must possess a keen eye for detail and be able to recognize and capture moments of interest quickly, as these fleeting moments often pass by in an instant. They must also be able to navigate the ethical considerations of taking photographs of people in public spaces without invading their privacy or causing harm. This requires a high level of awareness and sensitivity to the social and cultural norms of the community in which they are photographing.

Street photography has a rich history, with pioneers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Diane Arbus paving the way for contemporary photographers today. With the rise of social media, street photography has become more accessible than ever, with photographers from all around the world sharing their unique perspectives on life in public spaces.
