I am not a native English speaker. The following are all machine re-translations. Please excuse any ambiguities. Inquiry regarding the definition of street photography in our community ​Dear Moderation Team, ​I am writing to respectfully share some thoughts regarding the interpretation of our community’s street photography guidelines, specifically the definition sourced from Britannica. ​The foundational definition cited by our community describes street photography as a genre that "records everyday life in a public place." While the subsequent text notes that public settings enable candid shots of strangers, I believe this is best understood as one of many creative approaches within the genre, rather than an exclusive requirement for an image to qualify. ​In my view, "everyday life" is not limited to the presence of identifiable human figures. Urban environments are defined by the remnants and traces left behind by human activity—the layered advertisements, disused infrastructure, and the quiet fragments of daily existence that often go unnoticed. These elements serve as powerful, tangible evidence of "real life in the real world," which aligns directly with the core objective of the genre as referenced in our own guidelines. ​Historically, the genre has long embraced the urban landscape as a vessel for human experience, even when the human subject is not explicitly in the frame. By potentially excluding such work, we may be applying an artificial constraint that narrows the scope of what is considered "street photography." ​I am reaching out to request a more inclusive interpretation of our standards. I believe that fostering a broader definition—one that encompasses both human-centric and environment-centric street documentation—would greatly enrich the diversity and depth of the work shared in this community. ​Thank you for your time and for your commitment to maintaining this space. I would greatly appreciate your perspective on this. ​Best regards, ​LAI
