Street photography is a broad and somewhat unrestricted field of photography that tries to portray the subjects in candid situations in public places such as city streets, parks and other urban settings. Basically it falls under the classification of documentary photography since it tries to capture the natural scenes in contemporary society between the individuals and the surroundings around them. As they are, documentary photographs are best preserved and showcased at the same time if they are placed on a WordPress website with a photography theme as its content platform. In essence, you will see that street photography really chronicles the spontaneous street scenes as they are as oppose to those which are carefully planned.

Here in this article, we are sharing with you a collection of street photography that encourages us to appreciate what would have been ordinary street scenes but which as a whole, tells something more albeit in a suggestive manner. It teaches us to make an inference about the photo at hand, based on how we see it. As an art, street photography is not necessarily confined to the basic concepts of perspective, line, color, proportion and others, but more on the expression of the human subjects in relation to the environment they are in. Check out these photos and share with us your thoughts. Enjoy!
