Straight Photography via Wikipedia:

Pure photography refers to photography that attempts to depict a scene as realistically and objectively as permitted by the medium, renouncing the use of manipulation.

The opposite of pure photography is pictorialism. The differentiation between these two approaches came into being in the early 20th century.

Founded in 1932, Group f/64 who championed purist photography, had this to say:

Pure photography is defined as possessing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, derivative of any other art form.
