WHAT IS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY? AND WHY SHOULD I TRY IT? 

Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places. … Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment.
You should try it for the following reasons :
  • Allows you to slow down and anticipate the moment
  • Creatively it pushes you to seek out the interesting in the environment
  • Pushes you outside the comfort zone
  • It creates a conversation around humanity
  • It gives you the freedom to capture and publish life as it is

 

WHAT SANDY USES FOR STREET PHOTOGRAPHY :

I use my 24mm 1.8 for everything but a lot of people use a 35mm. I don’t though because I like to get in on the action.

 

For incredible inspiration, Sandy loves Vivian Mier 

Honestly, after I watched that documentary about Vivian Maier, she is. Not only the way she shot but how she carried herself through life. Such an intriguing person all around.

More incredible inspiration :

  1. Love these photographs. Capturing homeless people out on the streets is something that would like to do as a project. Not quite plucked up the courage yet as after spending two years there myself it is still a bit close to home
