The City - R: Graham Clarke, ch5
Landscape photography developed from early landscape painting. Photography of the city has foundations from how urban spaces were being viewed in the kate 18th and early 19th century.
Robert Barker's Novel View of the city and castle of Edinburgh (1788) - inventor of the 360 views of a cityscape.
1970s - there were panoramic exhibitions in London, Paris and new york.
The three cities that were the basis of 'the city' photography.
The city is always marked for a central icon - skyscraper/church etc
The camera follows this and these have remained the basis of tourist attractions to a certain city or place.
Walking in the city - forms a relationship with the urban scene.
The best urban photographers spend hours just walking around capturing.
The 19th century, the city was a central image for the camera.
