2. What is Street Photography?
Street photography captures people and places
within their daily lives. It usually features subjects
in candid situations within public places and
does not necessitate the presence of a street or
even the urban environment.

3. Street Photography: Do’s and Don'ts
Good judgment and good
manners; be polite to who you
could be potentially shooting.
Look for things, people, and
places that interest you; Life is
happening all around you, so
capture the range of emotions
and expressions that go along
with it.
Make sure your ready for any
picture opportunity; you may miss
something amazing if your
playing with your camera.
Don’tsDo’s
Act suspicious; people wont
want you taking their photo if
you don't ask.
Sneak up/stalk;
whoever/whatever you could
potentially capture won't like
it if you shove the camera in
their face.
Obsess over your camera.
4. Street Photographer: Alfred Eisenstaedt
Alfred Eisenstaedt was born in Dirschau (Tczew) in West
Prussia, Imperial Germany in 1898. His family moved to Berlin in
1906. Eisenstaedt was fascinated by photography from his youth
and began taking pictures at age 14 when he was given his first
camera, an Eastman Kodak Folding Camera with roll film.
Eisenstaedt served in the German Army's artillery during World
War I, and was wounded in 1918.

I like Eienstaedt’s work because his images capture the
subjects emotions perfectly. His photography style shows a
documentary or a photo journalistic style. His images are
very natural and many are spontaneous which I love about
his photo's.
