Encyclopedia Britannica defines Street photography has "a genre that records everyday life in a public place."
Photographers have been documenting their environment since the
invention of photography. The image "View of the Boulevard du Temple" by
Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, shows a Parisian street in 1838. Later
encouraged by improvements in the portability and quality of cameras
many photographers decided to record urban life. Charles Nègre, Eugene
Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, Andre Kertesz, Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier
Bresson, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier,
Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, William Eggleston... are amongst the
many iconic photographers who captured changes in the fast-paced world
of life in towns and cities.
Capturing the essence of the urban lifestyle is now both a popular form
of art and an important medium of communicating the heart and soul of a
society and its people.
