Welcome to the Australian Association of Street Photographers Inc.
We are a collective voice promoting street photography in Australia and provide Australian street photographers with opportunities to promote their work.
We host exhibitions, organise photo walks and have a private AASPi Members Facebook group where you can share photos with your peers. Members can also showcase their work in a Member Gallery on our website.
A definition of street photography
Street photography is hard to define, constantly evolving, and widely debated – but it carries a few enduring traits. At its core, it captures spontaneous, candid moments shaped by chance and everyday energy. Unlike reportage or photojournalism, it reflects the artist’s intent – an interpretation of life as it unfolds.
‘Street’ doesn’t require an actual street; it refers to any space where human activity occurs. While people are often central, subjects can also be objects or environments that suggest human presence.
Framing, composition, and timing are essential, with the goal of capturing a decisive or meaningful moment.
