Here's a little something about the TDM magazine and what they're about. Just recently, they've announced the winners of the best street photos of 2021, and we highly suggest checking them out in our recent article. As of now they've done two consecutive contests, and we certainly hope they're going to make even more in the future.
One thing about the streets is that they're full of all sorts of animals (and no, it's not some sophisticated and figurative way to talk about certain kinds of humans). There are usual suspects like cats, dogs and pigeons, but it all greatly depends on the culture the photos are taken from. Some streets are filled with goats and cows, somewhere else there's horses and monkeys. It may seem strange to us, but it's a part of life to whoever lives there. And street photography is in some sense but a momentary glimpse into that life, no matter its strangeness.
Some of you might think that some of these photos are not exactly street photography, but it might surprise you that street photography isn't exactly about shooting things explicitly on the street. Indoor photos can be considered street photography, as well as photos from rural and less urbanized areas. The whole gist of street photography is the rawness of the perspective, its authenticity and randomness: one must be a keen observer of life in order to be good at street photography.
If you're feeling hooked on animal photography, don't get off the hook so easily just yet, as we have plenty more similar articles to offer! Birds are majestic creatures, but since they're so majestic, well, it's sometimes hard to capture it to its full extent. Which is why bird photography fails are so funny; check them out here. Here's another animal and street photography-adjacent topic: landscape photos. All of these articles, including the one you're in right now, just make me want to go out there and shoot with my camera.
