About Hardcore Street Photography (HCSP)

POSTING LIMIT NOW 2 PHOTOGRAPHS PER WEEK

A group dedicated to candid situations that momentarily reveal themselves amidst the mundane hustle and bustle of everyday life. An ode to all great street photographers such as Winogrand, Arbus, Levitt, Koudelka and many, many more. Respect the past but avoid being beholden to it.

BE AWARE: This group is heavily curated. Photographs will be removed without explanation. To repeat: the admins simply don't have the time to explain why a given photo was removed. Don't take it personally.

What goes and what stays?

Read the group description. Give us a reason to remember the photograph. Ask yourself, what makes it so special, why is it worth remembering for more than a split second? The reason why it's so hard for us to tell you why we keep or delete a photo from the pool is because we don't have a quantified set of rules. It's just a feeling that we have.

Look through some of the Magnum images for starters. Check out In-public. Read Michael David Murphy's Ways of Working and Phyla of Street Photography.
