Street Performers

This challenge is a street photography exercise designed to help you hit the streets of any city to photograph buskers, including musicians, dancers, human statues, jugglers, puppeteers, and poets. This challenge is considered the ideal starting point for beginners or introverts who feel terrified by the idea of photographing strangers on the street. Because street performers are in public spaces with the explicit goal of being seen, they make highly accessible and easy subjects. They generally remain stationary and rarely object to having their photos taken, giving you a rare "luxury of time" that is usually absent in fast-paced, candid street photography.
