Street Photography Tips

According to Wikipedia, 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.

Now, walking down the street and shooting with a camera in tow is already street photography by any means. But, the challenge is to raise the bar and create art pieces that matter. For last Saturday’s Tagbilaran Group Worldwide Photowalk, we walked the streets of Tagbilaran from the plaza to the K of C wharf. For the local walkers, especially the first-timers, it was a real challenge to take.
