Street Photography

in the townships with Ian Fleming

Street Photography.

Over the last few decades the phrase ‘street photography’ has come to mean a great deal more than simply taking images in a public place.

Essentially street photography is not reportage, it is not a bunch of images displaying together. For the street photographer there is no specific subject matter and only the issue of subject matter and life in the street, they don’t set out with an agenda and they don’t visualize their photographs in advance of taking them most ideas are spontaneous.

Street photography is about seeing and reacting, to the situation in front of you at any given time.

Ian Fleming has his Fellowship in Documentary Street Photography FSAPP.

A few good tips, don't be afraid, allow your subject to walk into your frame and travel light and choose the right lens.
