Street Photography is an Art of observation.

Street photography is an art of observation because it requires an intense awareness of one's surroundings to capture authentic, spontaneous moments. It is less about fancy equipment and more about training your eye to see the world differently, finding the extraordinary in the everyday. 

Capturing fleeting human elements - Master street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson perfected the art of observing and anticipating "the decisive moment"—that split second when light, composition, and a unique human gesture align perfectly to tell a story. The photographer's role is to wait for the scene to ripen and be ready to react instantaneously.

Light and shadow - the way light falls on subjects and creates contrasts can dramatically alter the mood and depth of an image, I feel this image is a great example of a scene I observed in Palma, Mallorca.

The human connection - observing and capturing genuine human interaction, gestures, and emotions in their natural, unposed state is central to the art form. 

Elements of Observation in Practice - A street photographer must observe the interplay of lines, shapes, and elements within a scene to create a strong and balanced composition that guides the viewer's eye…like this scene I shot in Bologna, Italy.
