Street Photography covers nearly every aspect of city life and how we live and work within it.

It would be impossible for me to cover all those aspects here so I decided that I wanted to pick out a few areas which I think maybe get over looked as photographic subjects.

The subjects I cover here are either obscure, grimy, vibrant or mundane.

However I think all offer the creative photographer several new opportunities to explore their environment from a different viewpoint through their camera lenses.

The following pages are individual projects covering different areas of street photography.

Bicycles - Now that petrol prices are on the increase everyone is turning to the bicycle to get around our urban landscape. This means that for the photographer there is now a new prolific subject matter whizzing around our streets.

With so many bicycles on our streets the photographic possibilities are everywhere. See how many ways you can use bikes in your work and in what different viewpoints.

Street Signs - Look up look down in fact look anywhere in the city and you will see some form of sign.

They are impossible to ignore and are often the cause of great frustration for the photographer trying to get a good view of their subject.

So instead of looking upon signs as a pure ugly hindrance, why not try and incorporate them into your photography in a creative way that produces an attractive image. It may sound difficult but this project shows you several ways to see and use street signs affectively as a photographic subject.

Street Art - is it art or vandalism? I think it is a very personal decision but whatever you think it can often define an area by the very nature of its graffiti.

People often express who they are with the use of graffiti and any street photography project would be incomplete without an area covering the subject.

Part of this photographic project is to show how you can use your skills as a photographer to not only show the graffiti itself but to also say something about how the graffitit interacts with its environment.
