Images of street photography can depict the atmosphere of a space and the soul of its inhabitants by opening a window onto life in the locality. We are looking for your photographs that represent the contemporary street. Its occupants inhabit and modify the space with their acts of physical and economic survival, attempts at entertainment and spiritual elevation, and mutual interactions as they embrace their humanity.

Joel Meyerowitz said about street photography: “It’s like going into the sea and letting the waves break over you. You feel the power of the sea. On the street each successive wave brings a whole new cast of characters.”
