“… there is no single traditional development by which we can map the photographic response [to the city].”
So finishes Clarke in his chapter on “The City in
Photography” after surveying the approaches of a number of photographers known
for their work in what Clarke claims have been the principle loci for urban photography: London, Paris and New York. Basically, he’s saying that unlike landscape photography,
which has demonstrated a fairly consistent outlook, there are so many approaches
and views of the city that it’s difficult to classify urban photography.
