Street photography is a branch of documentary photography that often features people in candid situations in public places such as streets, parks benches, malls, political conventions, fairs, and other settings. Street photography is about people, places, and everyday lives in action. It differs from documentary in aim, as it doesn’t seek to document a particular subject and is very much about how the photographer views the world. I think of it as a visual journal.
Exploring my surroundings with a camera allows me to investigate and take time to look outside myself. I am able to meet people I might otherwise never get a chance to interact with. For me street photography is a way to react to and start to understand a place. I recently moved to Nashville Tennessee, which is known as Music City USA and as the Buckle of the Bible Belt. I am working on this series of street photographs that are all made within a 10 mile radius of my home.
