Nan Goldin, from The innocents series, 1994-1997.
Snapshot photography can be defined as "casual pictures made with hand held cameras by amateurs" Snapshot Photography . Its not a style I tend to use much, preferring a more stylised art photography, yet as some stage every photographer must pick up a camera and snap a shot purely to record a scene for posterity.
Some artists such as Nan Goldin and Garry Winogrand have made a career out of perfecting the snapshot aesthetic with a desire not "to reform life but to know it" (John Szarkowski, Diane Arbus).
The more I read about and contemplate snapshot photography, the more I respect its importance as "an honest visual record of events historical and contemporary". http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/pages/1058/Snapshot-Photography.html
