Curious — What defines a perfect street shot for you?

[DownUnder]

It was fishy from get go, but it triggered valuable talk.

Yes, even if for no other purpose. Or was this only fishing for street photos? So far, we know nothing.

Note the key words in OP's third paragraph - "We’ve been curating standout street visuals..."

I posted a response out of curiosity. But I didn't include any visuals.

It seems at least he is open about what he is doing. Or am I being cynical again...

Is this for a project or a client? And will they pay fees/royalties for any images used? Questions.

If so he will surely catch some mightily good ones here.

@Elizha, is this your website? Please share some "street visuals" examples 😎. I'm not seeing anything street related on your modeling website.

Hey all — just wanted to clear the air since a few folks brought it up.


My original post was meant to genuinely start a discussion around what people value in a great street photo — just opened the topic out of curiosity.


Honestly, some of the replies here have been really insightful — I got a lot of value from them and appreciated how people shared their perspectives so openly. That was the goal.


We’ve been curating a mix of visual styles lately internally, and street photography’s been coming up more in our convos — so I thought I’d ask the pros here what they think makes a shot really work.


Just here to learn, observe, and be part of the conversation. Appreciate all the amazing responses so far!

In a thread I posted about shooting weddings, a new poster asked about what they should do with their Canon 5D Mark II at a friend's wedding. I and a few others gave detailed instructions and suggestions. This poster has since disappeared and deleted their account and messages, or perhaps our mods @MP Guy or @Sonnar Brian saw something we didn't, and deleted the poster. It's not unusual for public fora to have drive-by spam posts, but I've only seen it once every few years on RFF. I note that the OP of this topic @Elizha has not returned...
