Indissociable from the history of photography,”street photography” has been a genre in its own right since its beginnings. It still seduces amateurs, artists, collectors and gallery owners. A genre well-defended by the gallery GADCOLLECTION in Paris.
With the practice of the open-air studio for painters during the 19th century (Barbizon school, impressionists…), the artist got used to represent the immediate motif he had in front of him. When photography appeared, a painting of the street in big cities naturally took place, with the daily wandering of the streams of passers-by, the feeling of depersonalization at work in the metropolis or the beauty emerging from a certain chaos.
