Street photography
About this activity.
Street photography. That must be one of the oldest forms of photography. The first photo with people on it dates back to 1838. We see a Parisian boulevard, not a single person on the street. Except for two vague figures. The fact that these human figures are recognizable is because they happened to be standing more or less still for a while during the minutes-long recording: a shoe shiner and his customer. All the others have become invisible due to their movement and the long exposure time. If that isn’t street photography...
Now street photography is a genre in itself, in which the photographer tells a story about people on the street, who often don’t know they’re being photographed. Why would anyone want to do street photography? Why would a photographer want to wander around the city for hours to take pictures of things that everyone can already see?
