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

    Instead of a landscape, it’s a cityscape. Just like a landscape could cover most anything in nature, like a forest, mountain, etc etc, a cityscape can cover anything set in an urban environment. Generally speaking, it covers more people centric subjects, as opposed to urban architecture, but there aren’t any hard and fast rules. No need to overthink it.
