African street photography?

[jaredangle]

So we've all seen street photography of Paris, NYC, London, Tokyo, etc.

But are there any good sites out there with African street photos? Cities like Lagos, Dakar, Windhoek, Accra, Monrovia, or countless others?

Don't know how available his images are online, but Raymond Depardon has photographed regularly in Africa for decades. A good chunk of his Voyages is dedicated to images from Africa (some quite rural / desert areas, other more urban). And his book, Villes / Cities / Stadte, contains images (all color) from Addis-Abeba, Dubai, Johannesburg, and Cairo (among other cities like Moscow, New York, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, etc.)

Street photography in some of the places you mention is a hazardous activity

A good friend had spent sometime hitchhiking across Africa back in the day , shooting with a Plaubel Makina W and a Nikon F3/T . Some of those images are posted in the link below. An amazing photographer that still is at it today..........

Definitely understandable, which is why I'm looking for photos rather than taking my own 😉

There are some in here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Africa+2009/ I took in various cities and towns in Southern Africa.

Thanks for looking.

I found photographing in Africa much less dangerous than some believe. You need to take reasonable care, but in many African countries and cities street photography is achievable without undue risk to the photographer's safety.
