Urban Photography

In my previous post, as an opening to the blog, I discussed the issue of photography being an art but in this post I will be focusing on the theme of this blog: Urban Photography. As you can guess, Urban Photography is a subdivision of photography that focuses on the various aspects of urban life. These aspects are many and include buildings, architecture, streets, traffic, transportation, people, art...

For an idea about urban photographs you can watch the following video or the following pictures from different photographers with access to their portfolios:

As you can see it in these pictures, Urban Photography gives the city another dimension and through the lens of a camera we see it differently: the city becomes an object of art.
