Street Photography

Photography By: Zack Arias

Last Week Ryan Downes, a passioned Australian Photographer who lives in Switzerland dropped in our office. We had a nice chat, exchanging this and that concerning photography and Tilpy. Anyway, he's spending a lot of time becoming a good street photographer. I definitely was eager to hear how he's practicing this kind of photography genre. The more we were talking about it, the more it attracted my interest. I mean, I was doing some sort of street photography too ,while I was travelling around the world. But I never saw myself as a street photographer and back home it wasn't something I was doing or practicing explicitely. But what makes it such an interesting and exciting form of expression?

Street photography is about life and how life is filling space and room. Street images are speaking to us in a very emotional way. They give insights, but you never know what's the truth or the actual story behind (usually).

Street photography is not about the superficial components like forms, shapes, light or even faces. They help or support to make a street image a success, but they are not the reason for it. You feel it, when a street image is great, because it touches you. And not because the light is perfectly caught, it's because it transfers an emotion, a story, an idea, you name it.
