Street Photography Meetup
Saturday 13 June
Bronte Beach - 10am - 2.0 Hours
Phil Bayly
Street photography encompasses a wide range of genres, and this week we'll be exploring the philosophy of Street Photography. That is a lifestyle-based approach focused on capturing authentic, candid moments in public spaces to find beauty in the mundane. It emphasizes curiosity, serendipity, and the democratic, often fleeting, nature of everyday life. It's about documenting the "here and now" and transforming ordinary, often unposed, scenes into artistic, meaningful narratives. It is more about capturing the feeling of the moment rather than the technical qualities of the image. It is the emotion, movement, and feeling that help create the image.
