30 Times Street Photographer Took Hilarious Accidental Photos Just At The Perfect Moment
No matter how much time it takes to capture one accidental image, the end result is always worthwhile. That is why this isn't our first time sharing Edas's work.
You'll agree with me that the funniest images on the internet are those that were accidentally taken. The lovely thing about this kind of photography, so to speak, is that you can be either a professional or an amateur and still produce eye-catching photographs.
While some photographs are actually captured by chance, others require some forethought and waiting. According to James Clear, author and habits expert, "Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations." This applies to photography as well; sometimes, it takes patience and repeated visits to capture that perfect moment.
"When I go out on the streets, I just watch every detail in front of me. If the coincidences involve objects, it's easy. However, if they don't, I'll also need luck. Sometimes I wait a while to register the right moment. The longest waiting time was several months. I repeatedly went back to that targeted location and waited, re-observing and re-imagining."
This goes to show that no matter how long it takes to take a single image, it is always valuable and worth the stress in the end. We've gathered some of this street photographer's amazing pictures, and you can check them all out below.

According to the photographer, "Capturing a good street photo is very complicated, as you need creative ideas and coincidental moments." Sometimes, if the photographer has a new idea but feels tired and doesn't want to walk, he could stop and try to wait for that coincidental/magic moment.
However, he says the probability of success is normally very low, as it completely depends on luck!
