This photo:
This for me is street photography.
It is by intuition.
By composition.
For color palettes.
For shadows and contrast.
It is for a refined aesthetic.
It is a photo completely devoid of human presence.
Yet it is full of a mental form that allows you to identify it as work done by a street photographer.
Now you can say that is not a street photograph.
I will disagree.
