New Photo Mission: Up Close Street Photography
By Lucy - 3 min read
Show off your street photography – there’s an Olympus Pen F up for grabs!
“Street photography is a genre of photography in which the photographer captures candid moments of people’s day-to-day lives. It documents society.”
– Nicholas Goodden of Street Photography London
Your Mission: The Up Close Street Photography Mission is all about photographing those chance encounters, capturing the culture of the everyday and getting even closer to your subjects. Don’t be confused by its name: It needn’t be on a street or even in an urban space. Simply capture daily life in a public place from a close-up angle.
