About Oslo Street Photography

Life in Oslo - urban, suburban, outdoors, indoors - people, strangers, something wierd, something funny, something unusual, those habitual gestures we normally overlook - capture the moment!

NB! Just because a photo was taken on the street, doesn't make it a street photograph!
Try off-beat, try quirky. Get in close!

Rather than plain reporting photographs, try isolating or framing moments that can evoke
stories which may have little to do with documenting the actual moment on the street.
"To quote out of context is the essence of the photographer's craft." - John Szarkowski

This is a curated group. We try to be broadminded, allowing a percentage of urban landscape, etc, but if your photo is processed a lot - fake 'tilt-shift', HDR, selective desaturation - there are other groups for that, with people who appreciate those photoshop skills.

Good luck on the streets!
