Brace Yourselves for Street-19

April 15th, 2016
The next street photography challenge starts this weekend.

Here is a definition of street photography copied from the original Street Challenge post.

Catching a fleeting moment WHERE THE PRIMARY SUBJECT IS PEOPLE, doing what people do, being what people are and which moves the viewer in some way.
Street photography is often B&W, but not exclusively or necessarily so. Contains a human presence & element even if it is architecturally inclined. Often defined as "Unposed scenes in public places": so, no street portraiture where the subject is posing - although they may catch you & look into the camera! It does not need to be confined to overtly urban areas - could be a beach. Avoid heavy hdr processing, spot-colouring etc...

The challenge starts on Saturday 16 April and will last until Friday 29 April - entries must be taken within these dates. Tag your shots street-19.

If you want to give it a go but find yourself wondering, “should I ask permission before shooting strangers in public places?” then the short answer is "no". But you'll find longer and more helpful answers here:

Happy snapping.

@jasperc Maybe a typo? Should it say it does *not* need to be confined to overtly urban areas? (Sorry, I was an English teacher.)

@tracys well spotted. I've corrected the text now, thanks.
