Street photography is one of the most rewarding and challenging types of photography. Your environment is constantly shifting as people move in and out of the scene. It teaches you to move quickly, but to also have patience as you wait to capture a moment that inspires you. Street photography is good at pushing you out of your comfort zone and encouraging you to get creative with how you use your gear. This week we will be looking at a group of Sony photographers that capture genuine moments on the street, giving you a brief look into city life worldwide.
