Masterpieces of street photography: real life in every picture from the masters

One of the most lively, vibrant, complex and dramatic genres of photography is, of course, street photography. No other shooting can offer the viewer as much freshness, originality and originality as a street photo. This genre was one of the first and immediately captivated people all over the world: there was so much life and genuineness in these photos!

As you know, last week on the territory of the European Union a new set of laws and rules of the GDPR began to apply, regarding the protection of personal data of European residents. One way or another, a freshly baked charter can affect us, both avid travelers and most ordinary tourists, because there are a few words about publishing photos with strangers on the network without the permission of these same people. This means that this will directly affect the genre of street (and reportage) photography as a whole. Now with vivid pictures of colorful residents of the EU countries can become tight.

In connection with these changes, as a sign of our love for street photography, we decided to show you a selection of the most talented, unsurpassed works of the masters of the genre from the past. Here are Alex Webb, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Vivian Mayer, and Mary Ellen Mark. Enjoy it!
