who and what do THE NEW TOPOGRAPHICS do?

THE NEW TOPOGRAPHICS was started by a group of 10 photographers, who are inspired by nature and how it is impacted by man and man-made structures. The group staged an exhibition of all their work which was inspired by the idea of man controlling nature. They have shifted away from the idea of romanticism and traditional landscape photography. They tend to capture everyday scenes, such as car parks and industrial spaces, which contrasts to the photograph MINOR WHITE takes.
