1. A work machine comprising:
a traveling body;
a rotating platform mounted on the traveling body;
an attachment mounted on the rotating platform, and including a work element;
an imaging unit mounted on the rotating platform, and configured to capture an image of a periphery of the work machine; and
a processor configured to, while the work machine is being operated, determine whether an imaging range of the imaging unit includes a predetermined subject region designated in advance and cause the imaging unit to capture the image responsive to determining that the imaging range of the imaging unit includes the predetermined subject region,
wherein the determining whether the imaging range of the imaging unit includes the predetermined subject region and the capturing of the image by the processor are repeatedly performed while the work machine is being operated, and
wherein the processor is further configured to
detect an operation of the work machine other than moving of the traveling body, rotation of the rotating platform, and activation of the attachment, and
cause the imaging unit to capture the image including the predetermined subject region again on a condition that a predetermined operation of the work machine including an excavation operation is detected after the imaging unit previously captured an image including the predetermined subject region.
