Street photography has become such an ambiguous umbrella term in the photography world that it really lacks any meaning at all. The brilliant and time-honored work of great photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Vivian Maier, Robert Frank, Joseph Koudelka, Elliott Erwitt, Joel Meyerowitz and Mary Ellen Mark are now lumped into this same genre that produces hundreds of thousands of dull, hackneyed candid images of random strangers by hopeless photographers every single day. Should the two really be one and the same? Is that grainy Gildenesque photo of someone's grandmother on their grocery run, that is currently making the rounds on Facebook, actually of any artistic value? I think much of what we know and call street photography today is in for a serious moment of truth.
“I never shoot without using the viewfinder.” – Garry Winogrand
Another common mistake that aspiring street photographers make is that they try to overcome their fear of shooting street photography by shooting from the hip (photographing with your camera at waist-level and not looking through the viewfinder).
There are many different styles, genres and types of Street Photography. We all like different things, see things differently and have our own interests, styles and things we like to shoot. The things I see, find interesting and decide to capture, for example, others may not connect with. So what makes a good Street Photograph? How do you capture the imagination of the people viewing your work?
UNDEREXPOSED The goal of Underexposed is to make the homeless as visually appealing as possible in a society that is visually demanding. When it comes to social activism, you achieve greater public awareness by communicating hope as opposed to hopelessness. Hope sells. I use lighting as a way to interest the viewer in the subjects shown in Underexposed. I use light for both a physical and a metaphorical reason. When something is underexposed, it means it’s lacking light; there are few details in the shadows. Using a strobe helps illuminate my subjects, bringing them into the light and out of the shadows for others to view and appreciate.
This episode is an interview with Valerie Jardin on the power of limitations. These days she hosts Street Focus but did you know she got her first camera to photograph wolves? Then, she started doing portraits of children. Valerie has done a wide variety of work over the years. While she is well known for her street photography, she doesn’t call herself a street photographer. She continues to do many kinds of photography.

Malick Sidibé, can you tell us about your childhood?
I was born 300 km from the capital. I was a peasant child who raised animals. Because where I come from, they say that if you raise animals you are a good peasant, because animals provide good organic fertilizer.
The frames are crowded with the scent of street photography and Oscar Palomares stunns us with his incredible eye for solving such complex street photographs. Yes, his style of shooting is more of spinning a peculiar web around interesting characters, visuals, lights and shadows. Beyond all of it, there is this decisive moment and Oscar stars here with great accuracy.

Joel Meyerowitz requires little introduction. He is a living legend in street photography. Beginning with his pioneering of color street photography, more accurately color photography in general, Meyerowitz has innovated and trail blazed his way through five decades of making photographs. For a few years now Joel and I have corresponded, mostly me nagging him about opinions on my work, which he graciously entertains albeit with moments of harsh criticism. However, I do want to say that it was Joel who offered up, albeit most likely inadvertently, the title for my first book - The Human Fragment. Despite our aesthetic differences, I've always maintained an immense respect for Joel Meyerowitz and what he's done for the world of photography
While I’ve always enjoyed Thomas’ photography, I really like the the images he’s been posting from a recent workshop in Venice. The processing is sublime. There’s a feel to them that I haven’t seen from him before that stops me from scrolling, and compells me to just enjoy the imag
When photographs from Mahdi Ehsaei’s collection, “Afro-Iran: the Unknown Minority,” went viral in April 2015, I received numerous emails, text messages, and Facebook comments all asking my thoughts on it. The portraits are vivid and beautiful in their own right–some taken right on the Persian Gulf coast, others standing under palm trees or walking down isolated alleys with street names tagged on them with spray paint.
