Hello, after seeing many street photos online i am inspired to take street photography as hobby. Please can any body guide me what are the requirement for street photography or a camera that would do justice to my photos. I am naive at Photography. Street photography is someting i find appealing. I found one Picture that was super inspiring

I think Ashish Sharma said it best

One need not be a professional photographer to capture superb street photographs. You only need a camera, lens along with your beautiful and creative imagination. One must know the exact time to capture the subject.

:)

I like the shot.
 
Thanks a lot... Can u suggest some best economical cameras get awesome clicks
 
I'm not the best resource on the site to steer you in the right direction. I'm sure someone will chime in with some good advice. Are you looking at digital or film?
 
Digital..Thanks .. i will try and find more on internet
 
OP if that is your photograph above, then it already looks like,you know what to look for in street photography.
 
I have written a good number of posts about street photography - perhaps some of them would be useful.

The example you showed is nothing special to me. What about it do you find "super inspiring"?

The single most important requirement for successful street photography is the ability to see the shot. If you see something special, try to take a picture of it with whatever camera you have.

Since I don't know your present skill level or budget, I can't make suggestions regarding the camera. In my opinion, the type and model of camera is less important for street photography than for other types of photography.

Just get a camera and start taking pictures. If you get some good examples, please post one or two here for evaluation.

Good luck!

It's not.
 
If you want an economical camera then you can go for the Nikon D3200 with its kit lens.
Will serve you well for street photography.
