Urban photography relates specifically towards captures that are caught in cities and this collection of examples are some of the most fetching. Large cities like New York have so much character to offer just by looking down a street, which is why many fashion brands choose to photograph models wearing the seasons latest styles on a simple road.
Moreover, there are a number of photography sets that capture stunning glimpses of skyscrapers as well as urban decay that can occur in lower end neighborhoods. What's important to notice is the level of artistic integrity that each set of shots has by using only what's found in modern metropolises. Urban photography might not be a favorite form, but no one can help from finding at least one of these finds inspiring.
