Intuition

Street photography can follow two paths: one of patience and planning, and another of spontaneity. Fan Ho captured dramatic scenes through thoughtful observation of light and shadow. In contrast, Helen Levitt photographed New York’s lively streets with spontaneity, catching unplanned, energetic moments. Regardless of approach, intuition is key in street photography, guiding photographers to be present, notice details, and capture meaningful images that connect deeply with the moment.
