Street photography is photography conducted for

art or enquiry that features unmediated chance

encounters and random incidents within public

places. Street photography does not necessitate the

presence of a street or even the urban

environment.

The decisive moment

さTエWヴW is a creative fraction of a second when you are

taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an

expression that life itself offers you, and you must know

with intuition when to click the camera. That is the

moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The

Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.ざ- Henri

Cartier-Bresson

something interesting in an ordinary placeぐ Iげ┗W found it has

little to do with the things you see and everything to do with

the way you see them.ざ に Elliott Erwitt

What is documentary photography?

Page 27: Nothing is more fascinating than reality: An introduction ... · The decisive moment Henri Cartier Bresson. Alex Webb The decisive moment . Peter Turnley The decisive moment . David

Documentary photography usually refers to a popular form

of photography used to chronicle both significant and

historical events and everyday life. It is typically covered in

professional photojournalism, or real life reportage, but it

may also be an amateur, artistic, or academic pursuit.

History of street photography

• Once photographing meant a large box camera on a tripod, shifting film plate after each shot

- and working with a dark cloth over your head and the camera.

• Pre enlargement photography meant that a large negative was a necessity

• Photography was slow, methodical, precise, posed.

Page 34: Nothing is more fascinating than reality: An introduction ... · The decisive moment Henri Cartier Bresson. Alex Webb The decisive moment . Peter Turnley The decisive moment . David

Oskar Barnack

• Oskar Barnack was headhunted from Carl Zeiss to make the Ur-Leica. He made 2-3 samples in

1912-1913

• The camera was designed to test motion picture film stock for movies

• He had the idea of a small format negative and large final picture through enlargement

I am a tough editor of my work, and usually when I look at my contacts I find

that I can go as many as fifty rolls without getting a good photo. But when I

looked at this roll, I had not one but two of my best images ever of New York

City. What a coupぁざ Bruce Guilden

さIデ can be difficult to make a decision because you can like this frame for

this reason, and that frame for that reason. Each photograph has its

particular strength. But you only pick one. One has to represent all. So I

foundation, the composition, the story, the individual personality に all of

that together into one imageぐざ Leanard Freed- Magnum
