Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places.  It is the art of capturing life, culture, and humanity, in a candid manner.

The way we capture and produce Black and White images have changed over time, but it is still a substantial part of photographic art. It allows us to look at light and form in such a different way when void of color. Black and white images are not usually starkly contrasted. They combine black and white in a continuum producing a range of shades of gray. Gray tones often become an important part of a good Black and White image when not capturing color.

“Reflections” Reflections make for a very unique subject in photos. Whether the reflection is in a mirror, water, glass window, or something else, it can add an element to a photo that makes it stand out. Once again, this is not limited to a particular genre of photography, let’s see what you can come up with, let this be a “reflection” of your creative ability (pardon the pun).
