By the invention of photography, the traces of socialchanges have been able to be seen in the street photographs as well as in the written historical documents, movies, documentaries, and war photographs. Compared with the other types of photography, street photography has no setup and planning or it has the least, which highlights the realistic and objective side of street photography. Street photography which can be observed in three historical periods as early period, modern and contemporary has been influenced by the evolution which occurred in technics and aesthetics and has changed in time. Early period Street photographers, Alice Austen, in New York and Eugene Atget, in Paris recorded social and spatial change through the objective street photographs they took. In the modern period, in which Henri Cartier-Bresson and Helen Levitt took part, street photography becoming prevalent and evolving through the institutionalization of technology, avant-gardeaesthetics and photojournalism concentrated on photographing the new forms of daily life in the streets of crowdedcities. As to the contemporary period, the personal life pouring onto the streets has been chased to be recorded andrecording private life has increased. Bruce Gilden, with his provocative street portraits and Michael Wolf, with his repro-ductions of ready-street photographs which he took of Google street views, recorded the street of the contemporaryperiod by using the methods far from each other. Besides their features of being aesthetics and documentary, streetphotographs serve as the document of social change as they are open to historical and sociological interpretation.
