When it comes to street photography I try not to travel anywhere with a pre-conceived idea of my destination. I also tend not to do any research in advance – Pat does all that – I want to arrive as a blank canvas, and immerse myself immediately. This doesn’t stop imagination and wonder however – I thought of narrow streets in an Egyptian style with quietness over it. Istanbul was none of these.
I firmly believe there is no one “right” way to make art. If that’s even why you take photos in the first place. Maybe you just want to take shots of your kids, dog or take holiday snaps. It doesn’t matter. Settle on an approach that works for you.
Rinzi is a photographer who is passionate about capturing the moments in life. He finds beauty in humanity and finds it in capturing the emotion, the mundane, and the art in reality that is found everywhere. He has a background in fine arts and graphic design but found photography to be much more fun and rewarding.He has been featured in Los Angeles Times Framework and a few street photography blogs such as Candid Frame, Fotoflock, and Visuellegedanken for his street photography work but also is involved in other types of photography such as portraiture, events, and weddings.

He’s one of the most prolific and well respected street shooters in history but Garry Winogrand hated the term “street photography” because it didn’t tell you anything about the photographer or their work. Garry talks about his methods and philosophy in this short video from 1982 and it’s a great way to get to know this enigmatic and polarizing figure. Hit the jump for the video and more on Garry Winogrand.Garry Winogrand was a prolific street shooter but hated the term "street photography" because it told you nothing about the photographer or his/her work.
Street photographers experience harassment everywhere in the world for taking pictures and capturing a moment in public. However, everyone loves looking at the images and the art form is highly regarded and even mimicked in modern day advertising. Surely, it’s a great way to not only become a better photographer by shooting such a wide variety of subjects but it’s also great for just capturing beautiful moments as they occur in everyday life.

My initial idea for this post was to examine where street photography is going today; on further reflection, I think it’s perhaps more a question of addressing some overdone stereotypes perpetrated by camera collectors and social media warriors – notphotographers – to see if we can get a bit more understanding into a) why those stereotypes exist, and b) if we want to produce visually different and better work, what needs to change. Read on, but only if you don’t believe everything should be shot from close range and monochrome contrast is solely binary.
Introduction Sometimes it can be really difficult to find inspiration for street photography. Or perhaps you’re a new street photographer just starting out on your street photography odyssey and you’re not sure where to begin.
Color street photography has been around New York City since the very beginning - of color photography, I mean. Early proponents were people like Saul Leiter, Helen Levitt and Joel Meyerowitz. Sally Davies has been carrying on this tradition since the 80's here in New York City. Her work is vivid, fresh, and engaging.
“To see something spectacular and recognise it as a photographic possibility is not making a very big leap,” Stephen Shore once said. “But to see something ordinary, something you’d see every day, and recognise it as a photographic possibility – that’s what I’m interested in.”
A typical photographer will take several years exploring the many niches in photographic style before arriving at a creative personality. This is a time consuming process where the truly artistic will assimilate, dispose, combine and ultimately create what hopefully is original.
We lived close by, in two rooms behind a shop. We slept in one room – me, my husband and the children – and lived in the other. The boys were being brought up in horrible conditions; we didn’t even have a bath. In the front, a man repaired teeth; I cleaned the shop for him every day and he paid for my milk. We’d been living there since the summer after losing the house we bought when we got married – my husband wasn’t paying the mortgage. This one wasn’t as nice, but I was so fed up worrying about whether we’d be evicted that it was a relief. But our next home, a few years later, was lovely: a nice big council house near the football fields, for the boys to play in. I thought I’d won the pools when we moved there.‘My eldest son went to see this picture in an exhibition… it really upset him. I think it made him realise how poor we were’

There are more commonplaces then exotic places or at least it’s easier to get to the commonplaces. Yup, nice to get to some place different and feel visually invigorated and ready to make lots of good photos. We all love doing that and prolly would always do that if there …
