street photography
Unposed public documentation
Street photography captures candid moments of public life—people, urban scenes, and chance encounters in everyday settings.
The genre emphasizes spontaneity over posed shots, finding visual interest in the unscripted: She practices street photography on her lunch breaks downtown.
The term distinguishes this documentary style from studio, portrait, or landscape work.
