ABSTRACT
Street photography is not like any other genre of photography; photographer has to approach it differently. Respecting photographer subject is the number one rule in street photography. The street photographer never puts the camera away. Many photographers freeze at the thought of photographing strangers in the streets. It's a natural feeling. It is a very intimidating thing to do until photographers reach a point where they are fear of not getting the shot becomes greater than their fear of getting the shot. At that moment, street photography becomes a way of life. Busy markets or fairs are excellent venues in which to get started in street photography. Taking portraits of strangers can also be intimidating, often even more so than doing candid street photography. Many street photographers resort to the 'spray-and-pray' approach. The best photographers are discerning and consistent in the quality of their work.
