elicit (verb)
to call forth
In the article “How better photos can help you document, and shape, your neighborhood” by Patrick Sisson, the interviewee Chuck Wolfe mentions the past tense word elicited here: “Part of the beauty of this book is that it was written at a time when smartphone photography is getting better and more common and relevant. It really works well with the book’s focus on crowdsourced and elicited photography”.
In other words, Wolfe is talking about photography brought out by people.
