Street Photography

Street Photography is a genre of photography that captures everyday life and people in public spaces, often in urban environments. It became popular in the early 20th century with the advent of smaller, more portable cameras and the rise of photojournalism. Famous street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank were known for their candid, unposed shots that depicted the raw reality of the streets. The style gained further recognition in the 1950s and 1960s when street photographers documented social and cultural changes. It continues to be a popular genre today, with photographers capturing the bustling energy, diversity, and moments of serendipity found on the streets.
