Street Photography Competition JUDGE
Street photography is all about capturing the beauty in the mundane" - Eric Kim
Eric Kim is a street photographer currently residing in Los Angeles, you can follow Eric on Twitter here- @EricKimPhoto. He specializes in black and white street photography, and has taken photos all over the globe, including Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre, Prague, London, and Korea. The images that you can see on Eric's website are mostly candid street photography of people in their natural environments.
Here is Eric's thoughts on Street Photography -
"There is not one definition which defines street photography. Depending on who you ask or where you find your information, you will come upon conflicting responses. Some street photographers will say that it is about capturing the emotion and expressions of people, while others may put a higher emphasis on the urban environment. However I believe that the most effective street photographs are the ones that synthesize both the human element as well as the urban environment. To capture a moment in which a person is interacting with the environment or in which the environment is interacting with the person is a true mark of a skilled street photographer."
