Something I've learned recently in the world of photography is how to differentiate between 'cityscape' and 'street photography'. Although the creation of both can be similar, they are actually quite different.
Cityscape focuses on architecture, urban landscapes, and panoramic views of the city. Buildings, bridges, skyscrapers, and public spaces are the main protagonists of these photographs.
Street photography focuses on everyday life and human interactions on the streets. Photographers capture spontaneous moments, gestures, expressions, and situations that reveal the personality and culture of a city.
And although the previous and following photos have people in them, the photo itself is not about the people but about the city, which is inevitably full of people.
After studying and learning to differentiate between these two terms, I set out to create a series of photos about the cityscape of my city to share it with you. For some photographs, I waited for a few minutes for there to be no people in the scene and thus take the cityscape photo as cleanly as possible.
The following two photos do have people in them, but they are not the protagonists. Besides, I like how they make the city look more alive.
I hope you've learned something new today and enjoyed the photos as much as I did!
