New Topographic’s is a movement of Urban Landscape photography started in the 1870’s by photographers such as Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Joe Deal, Robert Adams, Stephen Shore and others. They began shooting and capturing images of what seemed to be regular (ugly) building or places, but they had a an unnoticed beauty with mountains in the backgrounds. Their photos were often considered dull and plain as they were taken straight on at the subjects, however, they were significant because of the meaning behind them.

These images show juxtaposition because of the ordinary everyday architecture that is placed in amazing beautiful scenery. This could be controversial because of the personal perception of the images
