Street Photography became recognized as a genre in its own right during the early 1930s. Street Photography is unique in the way it is associated with the photographer's skill in capturing something of the mystery and aura of everyday city living. The Street Photographer is often likened to the historical figure of the flâneur: someone who mingles anonymously among the crowd, observing and recording the ways the unsuspecting city dweller interacts with their environment.

Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the genre of street photography from all angles, including people, urban structure, and documentary subject matter. All genres, capture types, black and white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission. Juried by: Valérie Jardin
