Street Photography—where the heartbeat of the city is captured through the faces and actions of its people! Unlike cityscape photography, street photography is all about the inhabitants who give a city its life and soul. It’s about stepping into the everyday, the candid moments that make a city feel real and human. For the best results, a shorter lens is usually preferred, allowing the photographer to get up close without being intrusive—though, that’s easier said than done.
 

As a photographer, it can be quite confronting to approach people for portraits, especially when you're after a candid shot. Some might feel uneasy with you pointing a camera their way, and that’s where transparency becomes key. Being open about what you’re doing and showing them the image you’ve taken often makes a big difference. If you’ve done a good job and offer to send them a copy, people are usually more than happy to cooperate. But personally, street photography is a challenge for me—being an introvert, it’s definitely outside my comfort zone. I tend to take more "sneaky" shots, capturing moments from a distance, but the results can still be powerful.
 

What I find most fascinating about street photography is the endless stories that unfold right before your eyes. Everyone you pass by is living their own unique narrative. Whether it’s a couple sitting on a bench, a vendor at work, or a child playing in the street, there’s always something to observe. Each shot is a window into the life of the city, a snapshot of a moment that’s fleeting but telling. The beauty of street photography is that, through the lens, you get to capture and share those stories—one frame at a time.
