Street photography starts in the street but it doesn't have to end up there. Typically it's candid, not set up.
Also, does street photography have to be all-natural or can it be set-up?
Does a filed count? What about someone standing in the doorways and you cropping it tight while still being in the street? What about a path in a forest? Also, does street photography have to be all-natural or can it be set-up?
Street is flat place where cars drive.
Street photography is like jazz

I do photography.
And I know you definitely know what street photography is.
I know that and that I am not all that good at it. Probably because many times I saw my father would approach people and ask to take their portrait. When they said yes he would take his Mamiy C330f, put it in their face, and crank out the lens bellows so that each lens would appear to invade both nostrils. As soon as I see a subject I picture to look of horror that would appear on my father's subjects' faces, then I walk away instead.
Was your father Bruce Gilden?
No, he at least asked politely and just walked away is someone said no.
So no flash popping in a stranger's face?
Street photography relies on people like Gilden to be interesting. All you see for street photography now - backs, backs, backs....
