SUMMARY:The Art of Street Photography by Paul Byrne FPSNZ
DESCRIPTION:Paul will explain his interpretation of Street Photography\, exploring it’s roots in the 1880’s and observing it’s development into photojournalism as camera size\, mobility and technologies have improved over the decades. Street photography primarily consists of human interest stories and each image must always contain an element of human activity\, even if an actual human is not shown within the frame. The genre requires considerable effort on the part of the photographer who must be able to recognise a scene\, anticipate an action and read the unfolding story as it happens. To accomplish this effectively requires photographers to have a comprehensive understanding of their camera settings\, speed\, agility\, persistence and a degree in observational skills! As the renowned street photographer\, Henri Cartier-Bresson said\, “It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye\, heart and head.”
