>>3604829In fact, that you think street photography is all about snapshitting and machine gun blasting your camera in people's faces means that you haven't spent any time looking at street photos—giving them the equivalent of an Instagram like and moving past. You can't appreciate the complexity of something as beautiful as a Robert Frank "Americans" photo if all you think street photography entails is mindless snapshitting. Likewise you'll miss the entire point of Vivian Meier's works, and you'll look at modern street photography collectives and works without understanding why they're good pictures, or why you like them.
It's likely that you'll only see a picture of people on the street, deduce that it was a lucky snapshit, and attempt (and fail) to replicate it.
