street photography and the basic rules

street photography is the type of photography where you take professional photographs in the general public hence the name street photography. The main tips on street photography is to; capture  the big picture, take a lot of photos because you'll never know when you'll get that golden photo, pay attention to detail and finally edit them. when taking these pictures you may have that decisive moment in that picture "what is the decisive moment?!" i hear you scream, it's catching that right moment at the right time for example in your photos you might find some bloke looking at a girl's behind that is a decisive, sometimes you might have a very good example of juxtaposition, once again i hear you scream "what is juxtaposition?!" well, it's placing two object side by side or in shot that contradict each other leaving the viewer to interperet  the meaning for example you might have a picture of a man wear spandex who is athletic next to an elderly woman holding a walking stick that is juxtaposition. finally when it comes to street photography you can do practically everything but there are a few things that i should advise you not to do;
1: DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF SOMEONE ELSE'S KID (THEY MIGHT ASSUME THAT YOU'RE A PEDOPHILE NOONE WANTS THAT)

2: DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF SECURITY OPERATIONS (THEY MIGHT CONFISCATE YOUR CAMERA OR WORSE BREAK IT)

3: DON'T TAKE INDECENT OR  OTHERWISE OFFENSIVE PICTURES (IT'S STREET PHOTOGRAPHY NOT PAGE 3 ON THE DAILY STAR)
