STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Street photography is a flow in photography. Street photography generally contains objects taken in public open spaces in candid or no direction conditions
There is no agreement on the exact equivalent of street photography in Indonesian, but the term street photography is often used on several occasions. Photographs in street photography can take locations from various public spaces such as roads, markets, malls, terminals, railway stations, and so on.

Street photography including the oldest style has started in Malaysia by Lambert and some photographers in the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia. The term is more precisely adjacent to journalistic photography. Although the beginning of its development there is a flow of surrealism like Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier Bresson. Although Bresson's style changed after entering Magnum into a style that is more easily understood and can enter the category of everyday life on the road. The odd alloy between the photographed subjects is that there is a mannequin or an angel statue in the garden or where it should not be the mannequin or the angel statue. So when the photo looks odd alloy and often called surrealism. The influence of surrealism is great on street photographs

Photographers who photographed on the street will not all look surreal, even there are photographers who do not experiment on the street for many years and the photos do not reflect journalism or to be posted in magazines or newspapers. Harry Callahan photographed the streets and was influenced by Balthus painters, he experimented with photographing gaps between floors, windows, photographing the streets at night, photographing pedestrian cropping, and many other experiments. So it is with photographer Jeff Wall who set 3 models to act as racism on the street
