To say Street Photography is only Street Photography when you candidly steal a shot with or without your subjects permission would be ridiculous.\u00a0 There are many different ways of capturing souls<\/del> Street Photography…\u00a0 There are also different types of Street Photography.\u00a0 For instance, Urban Fragment Street Photography is the photography of inanimate objects in urban areas.<\/p>\n

Some people have the misconception that for Street Photography to actually qualify as Street Photography there have to be people in it.\u00a0 There are entire Flickr groups whose sole purpose is to showcase urban fragment Street Photography (here’s one<\/a>).\u00a0 So if your thing isn’t taking photos of unsuspecting people then fear not, there is still room for you in the Street Photography ranks.\u00a0 I have to warn you though…\u00a0 Urban fragment photography or less importantly sounding, inanimate object photography, is the stepping stone to photographing real-live humans.<\/p>\n

Come to think of it,that’s kind of the funny thing about photographers… Or really, artists in general.\u00a0 Nobody likes to be told what their art is or is not but they certainly have strong feelings about others art (or photography in this case).\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Is urban fragment Street Photography actually Street Photography?<\/p>\n

Wikipedia defines Street Photography as:<\/p>\n

photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. The subject of the photograph might be absent of people and can be an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So if the object doesn’t have to be human but still needs to “project a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic” does that mean the images in this article would or would not qualify?\u00a0 Could Wikipedia be wrong (insert sarcastic tone please)?\u00a0 Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
