Juan Jose Reyes
Juan Jose Reyes discussed street photography, its history and its importance in photography today.
Says Reyes, "Street photography is not the same as photographing in the streets. What’s the difference? Are there different levels or types of street photography? Why are some images better than others? The genre of street photography has experienced a renaissance over the last several years. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that everyone has a camera all the time but most importantly, it’s because street photography has the potential to reveal a lot of the really amazing moments constantly happening in the daily, seemingly boring routine of life, if only we would pay attention. Street photography is simply about being present and paying attention to life. Gestures, emotions, colors, light, they are all around us every day. We don't have to travel to an exotic destination when the grocery store, the train or even the office will do.
And just like life, street photography is imperfect, difficult, frustrating and at the same time very rewarding."
