21 Bold Street Photos That Capture The Urban Spirit

Capturing the urban spirit in street photography requires a combination of technical skills, artistic vision, and an understanding of the unique characteristics of urban environments.

Here are a few reminders to help you convey the essence of the city in your street photography:

  • Embrace the chaos
  • Observe people
  • Capture architecture
  • Play with light
  • Use shadows and silhouettes
  • Experiment with different techniques

We made a list of 21 amazing street photographs that use these principles, so feel free to use them as sources of inspiration.

Also, don't forget that capturing great street photography is also about clever composition. If you’d like to get better at photography composition and learn concepts that go beyond the basics, you should take a look at Kent DuFault’s guide to advanced composition.

The lens in focus

“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.” — Unknown
