About Street Photography

black and white street photography by Markus Hartel, New York

What is street photography? A reflection of every day life – real, unaltered impressions of
public places, places that everybody visits every day, the street where you live, the parking
lot of your favorite grocery store, the subway. Street photographers document the truth –
take candid pictures of things that you don't notice in your daily grind.

Street photography involves attention to detail. The photographer pays attention to scenes,
moments that you only recognize subconsciously. The camera is an unobtrusive extension of
the eye in any given situation. Oftentimes, street photographers take pictures they feel; the
photographer happens to be there and captures the mood in a fraction of a second. He freezes
a moment that you will forget in the same amount of time...

Now, take your time and enjoy my vision of everyday life.

Madison:

hello, im madison. im young but i have a passion for photography. you pieces are really what im into. but do you ask to take these pictures? or just snap them. well they are really something.

Madison - thank you for your kind comment on my work... I pretty much never ask for permission as that would destroy the opportunity for a truly candid photograph.

david:

did you have to go to any schooling?

Terrific! I'm very envious of those images, I wish I could do as well.Those photos took a lot of ability to produce, well done. I've bookmarked this site.
