City Photo – people and events

city ​​life – what could be more interesting. At all, city ​​Photo – This term nonclassical. There is street photography, there cityscape. But if you look at the wording of, it is not always possible to carry a particular picture to a particular genre. Let me explain, only briefly:

Street photography – the conventional wisdom is that street photography is not staged. This is the case. But sometimes we cheat and photographers staging still present. This photo does not make worse, but technically this is not street photography.

Same with portraits – portrait in most cases – is staging a picture. but sometimes a picture made on the street so good, and that it can be called a portrait.

And still, urban photography in my understanding – what it is?

I am not encouraging anyone to accept my opinion on urban photography., as the truth. This is all very subjective..

In my opinion, city photography – it's all, what is connected with the life of the city. It doesn't matter if it's big or small. Even the village can formally be attributed to a small town. And if street photography is not just about city streets, but also to rural, then city photography – it's only city life.

It makes sense – we do distinguish between city life and country. And city dwellers are different from rural dwellers, and setting, and entourage. There are always a few differences. Even the technique is different.

I kstati, these are the differences they are looking for, and show in their pictures photographers.

In the village, in any case, our Russian car simply cannot pass 🙂

And people – urban and rural residents differ. They are neither worse nor better. Just different. Life is different, style, speed, work and all this leaves its mark on people. Here you yourself try to leave the city for a couple of weeks, and immediately for six months. You yourself will feel, what have changed.

That is why I single out urban photography as a separate genre, if not., that direction of photography.

On this page I decided to post city photos, which seem to be quite interesting to me. These photos you, of course, can download, but so it is my personal archive, I ask you, if you decide to use them on their resources, put a link to my site. it, it seems to me, not difficult.
