Street scene photography is just what it states on<br />
the label. It is those images we take on the<br />
highways and byways that pass through our cities,<br />
towns and villages.<br />
They can encompass everything from vehicles and<br />
traffic to children playing to people working. It<br />
shows life on the streets and the rubbish and<br />
dereliction we leave behind. It presents the old<br />
and the new through the eyes of the photographer.<br />
There is a crossover, the discussion is ongoing as to<br />
what is street scene and what is a cityscape. Both can<br />
include people and buildings, but for me, cityscape<br />
shows the overview of the scene while the street scene<br />
shows the life of the street.<br />
Street scene photography is not about passing<br />
judgement, it is about presenting what is there in the<br />
most powerful or descriptive way possible, but without<br />
bias.<br />
Boy by Karim Ahmed<br />
It does not matter if the image is the urchin standing<br />
beside the rubbish on the street or the Queen in the<br />
royal coach.<br />
