Street Photography for Sale
The work of the photographer Vivian Maier has led to rising popularity for street photography. Unlike other types of photography concerned with a range of diverse subjects, street photography chooses one theme only: the city – but it is just a trick as this subject is multiple, shattered and diffused, impossible to fully grasp. The beauty of a city, its inhabitants and urban landscape… The practice of street photography pushes the photograph to sharpen his gaze, learning the complex science of capturing a fleeting moment.
The interaction between man and his urban environment fascinates and inspires artists. The skyrocketing urbanisation seems to prove that the city is the environment that is most fitting to our human condition, yet the pollution, mass population and urban stress associated with the city life indicate the opposite. Whom are these odd animals living in these large hives of activity? What are their customs, their history? The photograph becomes their witness, as he captures ordinary moments that make up our everyday life: a man with a bouquet, a nighttime walk or merely a café's terrace. Like a documentary, each photograph holds a part of truth: to reveal the beauty of empty spaces where time stops, or moments full of life and spontaneity.

Every street corner has its share of surprises, colours and activity. Whether empty or busy, the street always seems alive; it is the symbol of the human habitat. Streets are places of movement, of transition, a space that we pass through on the way to a destination. Staging and directing becomes obsolete, as surprise, colour and framing naturally come out of the urban frenzy. The poetic talent of the street photographer is revealed in the stolen moment of an inattentive city stroller?
Each of the photographers in this selection has made specific choices: their artistic approach is already distinguished between the ones who stages their photographs or those who let spontaneity guide their creative direction? Then, there are the photographs who prefer playing with human interactions, in the way of a theatre play, while others prefer empty spaces as unique spaces. Finally, the photographer is confronted to the question of colour or black and white: monochromatic photographs belong to the past as soon as they are taken, while colour gives life to the scene, rendering its energy and charm.
Whether it is a wide shot or a detailed photograph, street photograph sticks to the rule of revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary. A hand calling a cab, or Robert Doisneau's couple kissing at the terrace of a café, the sunlight passing through a wire fence… all the things that we see every day without looking at them. Now is the time to find poetry and delight in the trivial! Browse through Artsper's selection of street photographs.

Need help with Street Photography ?
What is street photography and how is it different from other types of photography?
Street photography is a genre of photography that captures candid moments of everyday life in public places. It differs from other types of photography in that it focuses on capturing the essence of a moment rather than staged or posed shots. Street photography often involves capturing the beauty in the mundane and the unexpected.
What are some tips for capturing great street photography shots?
To capture great street photography shots, try to blend in with the environment, be patient, and observe your surroundings. Look for interesting subjects, unique perspectives, and moments that tell a story. Use natural light and experiment with different angles and compositions. Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things.
What are some ethical considerations to keep in mind when taking street photography?
When taking street photography, it's important to respect people's privacy and dignity. Avoid taking photos of vulnerable individuals or those who may not want their picture taken. Be mindful of cultural sensitivities and seek permission when necessary. Always prioritize the safety and well-being of your subjects.
