The most basic definition of street photography is "capturing life in public areas." This is a type of photography that is uncomfortable for many people, myself included. Though I do enjoy people watching, especially in airports, taking pictures of strangers feels too intrusive for this introvert. That said, I find much beauty in observing the connections that people make and the interactions that they have with their surroundings.
To address my own reservations with engaging in street photography, I always photograph strangers from behind or in silhouette (or both).
This week will be challenging for me but I'm willing to push myself out of my comfort zone a little. I hope you'll join me.
