Thinking about street photography

Share Button

I am looking forward to attending this course on the art of street photography, starting shortly, despite the triple challenge I will be facing: 1) Covid19 numbers are going up and up so more than ever I have to avoid crowded streets and public transport; 2) the German paranoia resulting in reports of photographers being physically attacked, court cases, etc.; and 3) the fact that I don’t particularly like photographing people, at least not close up.

In preparation, we have been asked to submit five of our own street photography photos. At first, I did not really think I had done any street photography, but going through my photos, I think I may have taken quite a few that would qualify (for some of them, it is a bit of a stretch to call them street photography, and I have not yet decided which five I will submit). We`ll see how many of them I would still call street photography at the completion of the course :-).
