street photographers
Sidewalk scene capturers
Street photographers practice a genre of photography that captures candid moments in public spaces—people going about their lives, urban scenes, chance encounters.
The approach emphasizes spontaneity over posed shots, finding composition and meaning in everyday situations: Street photographers haunt subway stations and busy intersections, waiting for the decisive moment.
