Golden Corridor

Why Street Photography?
Democratized Art.
We believe in the positive effects of the arts and street photography is perhaps the most democratic art form: The barrier is low, the reward is high.
Preservation
Street photography reflects the world around us and we believe it’s important to create a record of people’s history. We are preservationists.
Flexibility
Street photography has a loose definition and allows us to explore lots of ideas: Photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incident within public place
Community.
To bring a community together. To celebrate a genre. To celebrate the good in what we document. Street Photography is an active appreciation of the beauty of your immediate surroundings, you’re embracing the beautiful, creative possibilities in every moment.
