What is street photography?

Street photography is a method of documentary portraiture with a large focus on urban photography that crosses paths with many other types of everyday photography whilst capturing events and people in a way as to be presented as the photographers own social commentary of current events and life around them. Well at least it is to me!

A lot of street photography will often lean towards portrait galleries and candid photography of people going about their day-to-day lives, with some cross over into family photography and even pet portraits, news and documentary.

Pictures of streets do not need people present in them to be striking or artistic, the lack of people can be just as immersive as a busting photograph full of people rushing or bimbling about their daily lives. Often capturing a photo within photo whilst shooting street photography, it is incredibly easy to take pictures of streets only to later notice background events and characters bring to life the scene.

Ninjaprints street photography artwork sales image library feature a range of images inspired by my adventures as a street photographer in London, urban modelling shoots, portraits of people sitting and thinking are a firm favourite, as are the diverse characters and locations throughout our urban landscapes.

If you have an interest in street photography I cannot recommend Nitsa high enough, an amazing website of no holds barred photographic galleries from some great photographers.
