Call me stupid, but I’ve never been able to really understand what street photography means. Is it random pictures of strangers? Urban pictures? People living their daily lives? What defines a good photo in that category? For example, a good wildlife photo is one that shows an up close view of an animal in it’s environment, a good landscape photo brings out the beauty of a landscape with an attempt to make it look grand and dramatic. What sort of general criteria is there for street photography since it’s all the hype now

    Is it random pictures of strangers?

    Yep

    Urban pictures?

    Sure

    People living their daily lives?

    Definitely

    What sort of general criteria is there for street photography

    There’s no criteria. Just as “bringing out the beauty with an attempt to make it look grand and dramatic” isn’t a criteria for landscape photography either. You photography is what you want it to be.
