Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions and other settings.
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.
Стрит-фотография демонстрирует сопричастность автора к ускользающему моменту, и провоцирует не только своей эстетикой, но и двусмысленностью, логикой или нелогичностью, парадоксом или даже сюрреализмом изображения. Именно сопричастность к изображаемому является самым привлекательным в современной стрит-фотографии как для автора, так и для зрителя.
