What is Street Photography?

Street Photography,

Many people think its about the candid image, capturing people at their more vulnerable state. Some, capture only the streets showing the crisp detail of the buildings. Others go out only to try capture the perfect decisive moment. Something that only comes round once, and is gone in seconds. From researching the subject I've come to understand it more. My original thoughts on what Street Photography is where quite close minded, i thought that for an image to be a street photograph it had to be candid, on a street with people. But from looking at street photographers and their work I've become more open minded. Ive learnt that street photography can be anything, within reason. It doesn't have to necessarily be on the street, it can be anywhere that's open to the public. And it doesnt have to be a candid image for it to be seen as a street photograph.
