Street Photography, does that term mean anything to you, and if so what? It is probably one the fastest growing genres of photography at the moment, especially since lockdown, and whilst the term is very fashionable at the present time I find it fascinating as for as long as I have had a passion for photography I have seen street photography in one shape or another. Any candid photograph of any scene or portrait of a person in the public outdoors could be deemed a street photograph. I would also suggest that your personal favourite photographer would have some street photography if not in their portfolio, then in their personal work somewhere. There is something magical when a brief unique moment in time is captured knowing that it will never be repeated in that context and place again. I am you would say, rather late to the party in relation to this genre and it is definitely out of my comfort zone, however the skills required only inspire me to practice and get better at this craft, as it can only be of value to the future me whatever the subject matter may be.
