A list of the most influential street photographers of the past century."The essential attribute of street photography is chance - and that's likely why we're so drawn to it.
Unlike documentary photographers, who wish to tell an overarching story of the subjects and places they capture, often for news publications, street photographers take photographs of fleeting moments that may exist outside of a greater narrative.
Often, they are only meaningful for the single moment they capture.
The street photographers of the world might envy photographers who take portraits or stage photo shoots.
The latter group gets to control and create an image before taking it, which seems a hell of a lot easier than being able to get the perfect moment on camera as it occurs spontaneously.
The street photographer has to wait for just the right moment to capture something worth shooting.
The whole point of street photography is to capture happenstance - unplanned moments in public space.
Often this involves humans (sometimes doing funny things, like tripping or making strange expressions), but sometimes street photography just captures the photographer's surroundings.
Although it can be similar to architectural photography, it doesn't have to focus on the structures in front of a lens. Instead, the focus of a street photograph is the composition of random objects coming together in a photographer's frame.
The talented street photographer captures these chance happenings in a meaningful and engaging way. "
