Kaushal Parikh (*) On Street Photography:

Street Photography I feel is now the most challenging genre of photography.

Most photographers if sent to the Himalayas are likely to return with some spectacular images, but put photographers on a city street and the resulting images will most likely fail to inspire.

Capturing special moments in ordinary circumstances is not easy which is why we see an abundance of average street work online.

Technology and software are less important in a street photographers pursuit of the decisive moment.

Ten years from now new street photography styles may emerge but I hope there are as many photographers roaming the streets and documenting the evolution of life and society.
