Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure
vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends
to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter and often concentrates on
a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much
street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely
personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience
of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street
photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe
and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.
