Street photography involves capturing unposed moments in public spaces. It aims to document spontaneous interactions or convey a personal perspective through images. Effective street photography relies on techniques like using juxtaposition to find humor, capturing the decisive moment, and ensuring each photo tells a story. Common conventions include shooting in public areas and using composition and timing to express an idea or concept.
