Whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting out in the world of photography, you've probably experienced the feeling of seeing a perfect, magical moment - completely unexpected - and wishing you had your camera with you.

Street photography captures these spontaneous and unique moments of everyday life. Its unpredictable and intuitive nature makes it an exciting, challenging and incredibly fulfilling hobby - for beginners and professionals alike.

Unlike studio photography or other planned genres, with street photography you never know exactly what you're going to take home at the end of the day.

This uncertainty is part of the appeal.

As a street photographer, you are first and foremost an observer. Your job is to recognise the moment and react to it as it unfolds - without directing or influencing the scene.

Street photography is about capturing public life as it happens. Whether you are in a busy city centre, a quiet park, a festival or even the countryside, wherever you can capture spontaneous moments, you are in the middle of street photography.

It's about capturing authentic, unposed moments: real emotions, real interactions, real stories. There are no staged poses, no instructions - just life as it happens.
