The Street is often a place where photographs are taken, showing busy city life and a few stories. There are a few things to be wary of while taking these photographs like this
Joel Meyerowitz
Meyerowitz is a 'street photographer' , he was also one of the first photographers to start using colour which changed a lot of peoples perspectives on photography. He became officially linked to the history of New York as he was the only photographer given access to Ground Zero when the World Trade Centers were attacked. I like these images although upsetting they are taken really well from a different point of view than other people had seen, I like that he was trusted enough to go on restricted grounds to get these images, they show the amount of distress it caused.
Robert Frank
Frank is one of the most influential photographers, with his post war images challenging the boundaries of still and moving images. In 1996 he was presented with the Hasselbald Award for his contributions to post-war photography. He started taking photographs that reflected his search for artistic freedom, traveling from South America and Europe looking for expressive potential.


I really like these images because they show a wide range of how life was after the war, for a while they seemed not to care about race, which at the time was a big deal. People ended up having to mover their businesses into bathrooms because it wasn't safe on the streets and everything was ruined.

Bruce Davidson
Davidson started taking photographs at the age of ten, but when he was older he was stationed in Paris for in the war where he met the owners of the renowned photography company, Magnum Photos. Davidson then took pictures of the a classic portrayal of the New York subway system, in the late 1970s. Using color, Davidson documented a gritty and lively urban underworld.
I like this photograph because it shows really well the kind of fear you used to feel on the subways in New York in the 80's
