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
Post a photo in a Facebook street photography group. You’ll get numerous replies telling you that it’s not street photography. Post another after taking on board your feedback from the first. You’ll get more comments saying it’s not street.
Repeat this process and eventually you’ll have eliminated all the things street isn’t, and be left with what street is.
