Street Photography
''“Everybody Street” illuminates the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists.
Covering nine decades of street photography, “Everybody Street” explores the careers and influences of many notable photographers––a number of whom have never been documented, featuring: Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, Jill Freedman, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Rebecca Lepkoff, Mary Ellen Mark, Jeff Mermelstein, Clayton Patterson, Ricky Powell, Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, and Boogie, with historians Max Kozloff and Luc Sante.'' http://everybodystreet.com/ |

Image Analysis
This picture shows a motorbike that is made of a lot of unused things. It was taken by Ricky Powell.The image is both black and white and this makes it have a very perplexing look.The composition of the image is calm. There is not a lot of movement and it is a still image. The camera person looks like he is standing quite close to the thing he is photographing.The camera person looks like he is standing up right in front of the motorbike and the two elderly women. |

Similarities
Both of these photographs are black and white which means that we are mostly interested in the tones of the image. Louis Faurer and Matt Stuart both take pictures in public places that are slightly over crowded. Both are not of people who are aware that their picture is being taken which makes it more successful. This is because they are being themselves which shows that they are a good subject for street photography.
Differences
Louis Faurer's picture is a wide shot it is easy to see the facial expression of the woman holding the umbrella. However, Matt Stuart's photography
