INTRODUCTION
Of all the genres of photography, street photography to me is the greatest. It is also one of the most demanding. Although its been around since the 19th century, its only now, in the digital era, that its become really popular. Perhaps its the freedom it seems to offer, perhaps its the challenges, or perhaps its the feeling of capturing a piece of reality or of being part of the ceaseless ebb and flow of human life.
In many ways, street photography is easier than ever: cheaper cameras with a wide range of functionality; memory cards which hold a massive number of images; zoom lenses as standard; and affordable or even free post-processing software to tweak your shots to perfection. But in other ways, its more challenging than ever before as cameras get more complicated and laws and attitudes to shooting on the streets change. Also, with so many images on the internet its difficult to make your work stand out.
So the reason behind this book is to share my love of street photography with you through my own images, and to also share what has worked for me with regard to technique. Its my hope that you will be inspired to venture forth, with increased confidence, onto the streets of the city or village you live in, and to create more and better shots than ever before.
All you need is a camera which allows you to control the shutter speed, aperture and ISO manually plus a little bit of motivation to get out there and just do it! Heres a few reasons why I think you will love street photography:
Its about people and nothing is more interesting as a subject to photograph
There is a feeling of great anticipation as soon as you leave the house which stays with you all day
Every time you go out with your camera is an adventure
You often meet people who you remember for ever after
People in general are warm and welcome you and that makes it a joy
Its often humorous
The decisive moment gives you a real buzz - all the elements come together in front of you and you have a few seconds or even a split second to get the shot
You get to preserve memories of places you have visited
You are creating a personal, documentary history, a visual diary
Its always unpredictable will you get any great shots today? Or will you go home empty handed?
The scene is always changing, always new
You can tell a story in a single shot, you dont need a series of images
SECTION 1: CITY, URBAN & RURAL STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
-----------------------------------
I like people for their weaknesses and faults. I get on well with ordinary people. We talk. We start with the weather, and little by little we get to the important things. When I photograph them it is not as if I were examining them with a magnifying class, like a cold and scientific observer. Its very brotherly. And its better, isnt it, to shed some light on those people who are never in the limelight. - Robert Doisneau, French photographer (1912-1994)
-----------------------------------
Street Photography in Cities
Street photography has been around a very long time, probably as long as people have been making photographs but in the last couple of decades it has increased greatly in popularity. It can be considered a branch of documentary photography but differs from the latter in that documentary photography normally involves a series of pictures whereas street photography is just single shots, each one aiming to tell a self-contained story.

Street photography usually involves people who are either unaware of the photographer or show little interest in them such that the action can be photographed in a natural way, almost like being a fly on the wall. Like documentary photos, street photographs are usually fairly objective, or at least that is the aim of the photographer.

Urban Street Photography
Urban photography relates to the city, to urban areas, to images made (or found) while walking around the streets. But it differs from street photography (which is about life, as it is lived, right there in front of your lens) in that there are usually no people in the images. Instead, the life of the city is found inscribed in its buildings, both the monumental and the decrepit.
Urban photography can therefore be more spontaneous as it does not rely on the random presence of human subjects the way street photography does. As a genre, urban photography is becoming increasingly popular, and with more and more people living in cities, this genre offers great opportunities for making interesting images. Travelling also offers great opportunities to practise urban photography.
Think of urban pictures as representing an archaeology of people who project onto the buildings their aspirations, expectations, and cultural values. These edifices and urban landscapes become art when the photographer frames them within the limits of the viewfinder.
