Introduction to Street Photography: Observation, Framing and Respecting the Scene
Introduces street photography as a creative way to record daily scenes, practices observation, framing and angle selection, and reminds people to pay attention to other people's space when shooting; it does not specify focal lengths, distances or exposure values, nor does it provide legal conclusions.
Start with life as it happens
Street photography can use images to tell daily life and the photographer’s observations. Light, people, and events will change with the scene; notice what attracts you to the scene first, and then decide what you want the photo to express. What is introduced here is a creative path, not the only definition of street photography. 〔G-STM-01〕
Compare framing, angles and light
Facing the same scene, you can try different viewing ranges and shooting angles, and you can also observe where the light falls in the picture. Take several pictures with different compositions for comparison, and then keep the one that better meets your expressive goals; these are creative choices, not fixed rules. 〔G-STM-02〕
Take the subject and location into consideration
Be aware of people's personal space when photographing them; not everyone wants to be photographed. This article discusses creative reminders to respect the site. It does not judge whether it is legal to take or publish photos at a certain location, nor does it replace the review of permissions for specific uses. 〔G-STM-03〕
