A good street photograph

How we can consider a street photograph a good street photo?

Los Angeles. California, 2011. Alex Coghe

Street photography, a good street photograph is something that documents, that communicates something about a moment captured by the photographer, and therefore also reveals something about the author of the photo. A good street is a revealing moment, a sublime dichotomy of the ES and the world around it, or at least the perceived one. For this we must be demanding, with the moment caught, if there is true content or not, if there is a composition worthy of this definition, if the street [public space] is genuinely represented and without forcing and overdubs, and therefore communicating that energy. that only the street is able to reveal.
