ABSTRACT
The most common way to do street photography is by simply walking the streets of any city, small or large, and reacting to a specific scene, light or subject. A big part of successful street photography is the photographer's ability to anticipate the subject's next move. This is achieved by observing people all the time, with or without a camera. One of the countless joys of street photography is to find a stage and wait for the perfect subject to enter the frame. Street photographers constantly scan for those opportunities, and envision a potential shot. A common approach to street photography is provoking eye contact. Making a portrait of a stranger is a very different approach to street photography. It requires an interaction with photographer's subject. There are many ways to create abstract images on the streets, including using reflections, shadows and natural filters such as rain or condensation on a window.
