Street photography and confrontation
Street photography is about capturing unscripted, candid moments in public spaces. It is a genre that focuses on the natural ebb and flow of people interacting with each other and their shared environment. Often the results are raw, curious and unexpectedly humorous. The very nature of capturing these moments, and doing them justice is to do so without consent. This creates a social tension, even if most often this tension is only in the photographer's mind as the subject or subjects are often oblivious or indifferent.
Gone fishing: 20,000 steps isn’t always the answer to street photography
Street photographers often talk about ‘getting the steps in’. Tireless urban wanderers hunting for that decisive moment across 10 different postcodes, glancing at their FitBit as it creeps towards clocking 20,000 steps. The health benefits of this marathon approach are appealing, and the logic of increasing the probability of finding the shot by consistently moving does make sense.
