Street photography and photojournalism are powerful mediums that capture the raw, unfiltered moments of everyday life, public events, and significant social movements. At Renegade Lens & Ink, we specialize in documenting the stories and emotions that unfold in our streets, providing a visual narrative that informs, inspires, and provokes thought.
What Is Street Photography and Photojournalism?
Street Photography
This genre focuses on capturing candid moments in public places, highlighting the beauty, drama, and humor of everyday life. It often involves spontaneous shots of people, architecture, and urban landscapes, telling stories through a single frame.
Photojournalism
This involves documenting real-life events and issues with the aim of informing and raising awareness. It covers a wide range of subjects, from protests and public events to social issues and human interest stories. Photojournalism aims to provide an unbiased and authentic representation of the world around us.
