Do you like to photograph in and around town? Do you like to explore and capture the moment when it occurs? Look to tell a story with your photographs. Sometimes I like just heading to downtown Memphis and exploring with my camera. I do quite a bit of Sports events as well as corporate events. Street photography let’s me get away from it all. I’ll always find something to photograph that speaks to me. That’s the excitement of street photography.

WHAT IS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Street photography is photography that features the human condition within public places and does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. The subject of the photograph might be absent of people and can be an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic. Framing and timing are key aspects of the craft, with the aim of creating images at a decisive or poignant moment. Street photographers create fine art photography (including street portraits) by capturing people in public places, often with a focus on emotions displayed, thereby also recording people’s history from an emotional point of view. Services like Google Street View also record the public place at a massive scale. Photojournalists work in public places, capturing newsworthy events, which may include people and private property visible from public places.         Street Photography doesn’t always have to include photos of people. This photograph was taken outside of Ernestine and Hazel’s, to capture the reflection as well as peering slightly inside the window.   The photograph below was taken outside BB Kings on Beale Street in Memphis.     Always be looking as you walk around for unique compositions or capturing the moment. This photograph below was taken at the New Daisy Theatre on Beale. You can see the emotion in her face, which gives it the intrigue and helps to tell a story.    

I am excited to announce I will be teaching this NEW Workshop “Introduction to Street Photography” in Memphis, TN (March 28th).
