Examples of Urban Landscapes

urban landscapes defined from http://www.urbanlandscape.org.uk/
what is it?

Urban landscape photography

  • in some way describe a town or city
  • represents an attempt to understand our experience of the city
  • shows a dedication to the subject, expressed through a body of work rather than isolated images
  • concentrates on structures or processes rather than on people
  • may deal in either details or a broader view

Urban landscape may be in black and white or colour, subminiature camera or large format, using any process, although this site will restrict itself to still photography. Urban landscape is distinct from 'street photography', which looks at urban experience largely through a study of the people who live it, although the two genres may overlap. Urban landscape photographs often include people, but they are cleary situated and existing in the structures of the town or city.
Peter Marshall, 2003
