The Decisive Moments Magazine Awards 2021 Has Revealed The Most Fascinating Moments Captured By Street Photographers (30 Pics)
Street photography fascinates with its ability to change one's perception of reality. Its artists manage to show unnoticed details in everyday things, people and situations. Whether it's something funny, unexpected or controversial, all of the photographs are about us and the (undiscovered) world we live in.
With that being said, we want to celebrate talented street photographers by sharing their works as published by The Decisive Moments Magazine (TDM) Awards 2021. The Jury team of two, Vineet Cohra and F. Dilek Uyar, has chosen 34 winners and finalists whose works are being showcased on the TDM website.

I wonder if the next photo shows one of them bumping into the pole because THAT would be the future we seem to conjuring up here on planet Earth!

Load More Replies...Paul Kessel was announced as the winner of The Decisive Moments Magazine Awards 2021 with his amusing photograph depicting people in Mercer Street, Soho. In one of his interviews, the photographer shared that originally, he was interested in portrait photography but later on discovered street photography and became "immersed in it".
"Shooting street scenes is like a sport and they are mostly candid. In a few instances, people seemed to be aware of my presence", Paul shared on his website.

A postmodern comment on the effects of capitalism separating the worker from his product and leading to disenfranchisement and the unattainable hope of freedom... Or just a picture of a man in a barn.
Second place was given to Babak Kanaani. He's a Tehran-based artist who began his career as a photographer in 2005. However, it was only in 2016 that the artist started focusing on street photography. The winning image was shot in the streets of Iran.

Third place went to Joseph-Philippe Bevillard, a talented photographer based in Ireland. As stated on his website, the artist took up photography during his senior year at a private school in Massachusetts. "It was in 1990 that Joseph-Philippe developed a style for his square B&W portraits of people he met in the nightclubs and on the street." Later on, the artist started a new project, photographing the Irish Travellers.

So, do we think this guy is explaining how the car got in the river to these geese? Or do we think that maybe they are interviewing him about what happened?

Ohh, this looks familiar - part of the Licht-Parcours in Brunswick? We have it every few years and I love it... They install lots of art projects near the water and every one is out exploring them at night - ideally by boat.

She looks so American! I know the USA is super multicultural but... its probably an idea planted in me from old pictures which were only ever of white people.

Really? I thought she looked like any kid/teenager in the Western world ever. I'd have not been surprised if this was at Germany or Sweden or the Scotland or England or Iceland.

Yes, artisans start by making a bamboo frame for the idol. They bind straw over it to give it a structure & apply clay on top to give it its final shape with its contours & features. Then it is dried in the sun and later colours are added for its Goddess Durga look.

Looks like a skeleton of a Durga idol.. either it is about to be made or has been taken out after being submerged in water

Durga is more a goddess of brilliant light, if I remember correctly. If birds of carrion are sitting on it, it might be her wild daughter Kali.
Sapna Sarfare 3 years ago
Actually, Kali is not the daughter of Goddess Durga. she is another form of Ma Parvati, just like Durga... All are forms of Shakti...

STREET photography. This is literally the challenge. And 99.9% chance it was spontaneous and not posted or setup. This is an instantaneous slice of life on a city street. I think it's great.
