Street photography is a genre of photography that captures candid, unposed moments in public spaces, documenting everyday life as it unfolds. Rather than staging scenes, the photographer observes and reacts to real situations—people, interactions, light, and movement—often in urban environments but not limited to them. The goal is to reveal something truthful or evocative about human experience, whether through humor, tension, beauty, or contrast. It emphasizes timing, awareness, and composition, turning ordinary moments into images that feel meaningful, spontaneous, and alive.
