General Discussion / Street Photography: The Definition.
« Last post by aristos on October 05, 2011, 11:52:18 am »
All

In my opinion street photography is an approach to photography much more than it is a reference to a location. But proper street photography must, however, comply with following basic criteria:

1) It must have people as the bearing element.
2) It must show people in a context. Portrait will not do.
3) It must be shot in a public area as opposed to a private area.
4) It must be shot in an urban setting.
4) It must be un-staged and unposed.
5) It must be straight photography, meaning only minor post productions should be accepted.

What do you think of this definition?

Best wishes

Cameras / Do I Need A Leica?

I sometimes hear that you need to have a Leica to be a proper street photographer. Is that true, and why is it so?

What Leica do you prefer for street photography?

Any answer will do wonders :).
