Light study -Yes Street photography -No.

Sorry but street photography Is about capture of Life In a artful way. Not random shots of people w/their back turn to you. and no scene or interaction going on.

Get close don't be scare! I know I have shot street w/35mm, eye contact, In the face. Yeah It can be scary for the first coupe of shots. I'm not shitting on you.

But Its not what street photography Is about. that go's to all who thinks this Is street. you are wrong!

@ahphoto74 it's not scary at all. I've done it so many times. In your face shots, eye contacts and all.

@siuleung42 To each their own. I've discussed the definition of street (to death) in some other forum. I definitely don't intend to repeat it here ;) esp not with someone who's using male genitalia as a point of argument. Just ignore the masochist and elitist, self-claimed-street photographers...

Nice job Tita!

Mo! How did you get here?! I almost forgot I had this actually :D

Well I originally did about a 1000 word comment, losing track before I was warned that I was WAY over the limit! So simplify, simplify.

AH why do you become angry over these pictures? Jealousy?

Does AH stand for Asshole?

Sinatya, great shots really capture the play of light over varied subjects. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged.

I have to agree with Garry Winogrand, a very notable "Street Photographer" who said, " the term Street Photographer is stupid, I'm a photographer!"

I love your work. This is what I'm trying to add into my work. A great inspiration for me. :)

yes what rubbish to put down the work of other artists. who CARES what we call it. it's still art and I personally LOVE this collection and the way it's put together. I'm with Winogrand...I am a photographer..that's it!

@ahphoto74 P.S your work is shit.

[Drunknphotographer88]

@ahphoto74 Lol all who thinks this is street. you are wrong. you clearly know nothing, please do tell, if this isn't street photography then what is it? the fact that you are closing a style of photography down to "eye contact, in the face" shows your level of misunderstanding, street photographs are photographs from the street, who cares whether you shot them with a 50mm lens or a 105mm lens, if its on the street its a street photograph, see joel meyerowitz's street work...all will be explained

Great shots, I dont like the music so I listened to Fouret - Twenty Three

Do you do much processing if you don't mind me asking. Love your work, do you have a flickr?

[janerikhermansen]

If this isn`t street photography, then nothing is.. Love the way you seek out the light that people walk through, capturing them in the spot light. Keep it up!
