Maier shared Orkin's documentary street photography approach, capturing candid moments of everyday urban life with a keen eye for spontaneous human activity in mid century American cities. Her work similarly balances architecture and people to celebrate the vitality of ordinary leisure.

Levitt was a pioneering female street photographer who documented New York City neighborhoods with the same warmth and spontaneity seen in Orkin's Central Park scene, focusing on playful everyday moments where urban architecture frames human recreation and community life.

Winogrand's photojournalistic documentation of New York City's public spaces and leisure culture closely parallels Orkin's approach, using dynamic compositions that contrast the grandeur of urban infrastructure with the casual, energetic behavior of everyday Americans at play.
