>>4484129>Is it the fact that it's one of the most fraudulents forms of the craft?If by fraudulent you mean easy to pull, pseudo-intellectual to justify, disloyal in terms of its candid nature, often doing away with its hardest factor which is colour, dubious rules that try to gatekeep practitioners not initiated in the cliche... then yeah it's because of that.
But it's good for practicing and finding your own style by shooting, in it you will find very quickly if you like the urban aspect of it (architecture/true street) snapping people (portrait) posing them and pretending (studio) nature interacting with the environment (landscape) or you just shoot to see what sticks (Cartier-Bressonian street)
