Showcasing anything from butchered pigs to drive-in theaters, the 2020 LensCulture Street Photography Awards showcased some of the best in urban photography. Kevin Fletcher’s series “Avenue of Roses,” which was based on a single Portland, Oregon, avenue, took first prize in the competition.

Despite being “ugly” and “often derided,” Fletcher claimed that the street he took pictures of was a “necessary” and “functional” aspect of Portland. According to Fletcher, the show was a “documentary” that showed how, regrettably, some individuals had “suffered” in the city while others had “prospered.” Canon’s EOS R5, which retails for about $5,000, is a good camera to use for these kinds of unposed street shots.
