About Montreal Street Photography

This group focuses of quality street photography from Montreal, QC.

Pictures posted in the group must have a human element. Walls and lamp posts can be pretty, but they belong elsewhere.

Photos must be spontaneous, candid, not posed and not staged. Refer to the over-quoted paragraph in Wikipedia:
Street photography uses the techniques of straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. On the other hand, much street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter, giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with. In the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture in Europe and North America, and elsewhere to a somewhat lesser extent.

Repetitive photos aren't very interesting. Pick the best in the whole series and post it.

Photos that don't follow these rules will be removed without explanation.

Please make this a place of good quality photography, and not a showcase for your snapshots.
