Street photography is generally candid in its nature. Tony Ray-Jones was the first pioneer in this field. You must check him out!

He developed a set of rules for himself, which basically asked him to let things emerge in his frame. This also included having real conversations with people on the street and spending time doing that. The process demands you to be patient with yourself and with the artwork. This in a way is a great way of reconnecting with people and also meditating in some way. You can find out about these rules very simply online!
