Street Photography for dummies
What do we need to shoot a Street picture?
1. A camera
Whatever kind of a camera is good. Either it is a ridiculously expensive rangefinder or an unbelievably cheap point and shoot compact. Either it shoots digital or it shoots film. Either it weighs a ton or it weighs few grams. ANY camera is fine as long as you have it with you.
2. A public place
This can be out in the streets or at the beach or inside a hotel's lounge or in a diner place or inside a supermarket or a mall or a school or whatever PUBLIC place. This public place must be visible in our picture. And things must be happening in this public place.
3. People
Exactly, people! We need people in candid situations. Definition of "candid" from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary: "subjects acting naturally or spontaneously without being posed" Definition of "candid" from Wikipedia: Candid photography is best described as un-
A Picture Paints a Thousand Words WinnersWe were looking for the best story told through an image. There is a timeless saying 'A picture paints a thousand words.' We didn't just want a thousand words, we want a short story captured in a single image.
This contest was made possible by Enrico Casarosa from Pixar, who donated his time and talents to inspire DeviantArt's members!
You can check out the contest page here and the interview with Enrico Casarosa here.
Thank you to everyone for being patient, I know we had a wee delay with announcements, but we just hadn't gathered all the votes yet. Our winners were selected by members of the Community Volunteer team who generously went through and looked at each and every submission.
Without further delay, here are our winners!

"Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints." - Urban Explorers Creed
Sometimes it's easy to forget the things around us that were once iconic and useful. In everyday life that could include a multitude of household objects, bits and bobs, clothes, gadgets - all sorts. But in Photography - a specific aspect of Photography - people close doors and board up buildings sometimes with little or no notice. They erect a fence around that old asylum and ship everything out or they install security guards at the boundaries of an army camp. Those places get forgotten and one day there will be nobody left that will remember them. That's where Urban Exploration comes in.
I'm not telling you to go out and scale the wall of your nearest derelict hospital in the name of photography. It takes a certain kind of person (and agility!) to do that anyway, but there are many depths to U

It is about understanding the connection between our inner thoughts and expressing it either through photography or digital art (photomanipulation etc.) using words, quotes or random sayings to help get the mind started.

Thank you!
PE: Deviant Street Books-Inspirational linksFirst it was film, darkroom, paper. Then it became pixels, software, screen. And for some paper too.
A big thanks to those who decided to let us enjoy their pictures in paper and get the feel of the real thing.
It needs time, devotion and trust to set a street photo book of your own. Let's see who did it!

HAPHAZARD ANTHROPOLOGY in short - By Simon Becker from 30,64 €
I finally got around to putting together a new book. And because it turned out kind of big and rather expensive, I thought I'd add a smaller, reduced "pocket" version (64 frames instead of ~100 in the "big" version). They are both a little more sophisticated and imo "richer" than my p

To post a thumbnail, open a deviation from your gallery. On the right hand side under the deviation, you will notice sharing options (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Beside that is an arrow pointing down. Simply click that to reveal the thumbnail code. Copy the code which is in the box and paste that into the note and..Send to me ;)

What does conceptual mean; what makes a photo conceptual? I am a very amateur photographer, I know practically nothing except how to point and shoot. :)
