Street-Photography.Net are looking for Street Photographers to feature on this website and join the community here.
We will create researched articles on selected photographers who want to be involved. David and Michael who are setting up this website are two street photographers, one in London and one in New York. Who want to help the street photography community by showing the work of other street photographers and building an online presence, that is beneficial to all street photographers. We want you to be involved. To start with we are looking to feature street photographers, whose work we find interesting and support them with help, ideas, and visibility.
If this sparks your curiosity get in touch?
The Why
Why are Street Photographers wanted here? The why of why we want to do this website, is that there is a lot on street photography, but very few places aimed at building a community of and for street photographers. A place where we can come together and discuss the ideas and issues that street photographers face in making images in public spaces. Some countries are now controlling how photographs can be made in public spaces while at the same time we see a proliferation of CCTV everywhere. I live in London and it is one of the most surveilled places on the planet. No one seems to complain about the number of camera on the streets and yet when a street photographer points their camera at someone to make an image because they find what ever they are photographing interesting they get
What are we looking for?
We want to find and meet active and retired street photographers,
Active street photographers because we want to help you showcase your work and join the community that exists out there in the wider world. Retired photographers who have bodies of work from specific times and places, we would also love to see your work and share it with the street photography community and maybe even the wider world.
Right now, we have a rise in authoritarianism. One of the defences to that, is to build resilient communities. I was recently on Holiday in Crete reading a book about resisting Tyranny. The night that USA bombed Iran, I decided that I needed to do something. On Tyranny by Timothy Sander is quite brilliant and it has a chapter about creating community of like minded people. I decided that my thing would be to help build a stronger community around something that I love to do, which is street photography.
This gave me the push to finally get this website built and online. I reached out to a good friend and fellow street photographer, David Castillo in New York. Asking him, if he was interested in helping, to keep something good in this world and as I know we both love street photography.
When, we want to hear from you now!
