Cities can be a great source of inspiration. They’re a melting pot of different cultures, religions, businesses… Some artists try to capture the city’s spirit in photographs or graphic design. This often leads to amazing results.
In this article you’ll find various photographs from urban environments. There’s also a diversity in photography style between these photographers. Don’t forget to post a comment if you’ve found another great photo.

I never like selective coloring – BUT that photograph of the sky scraper that is yellow and everything else is B&W is gorgeous! One of the best examples of selective coloring I have ever seen.

I have to second the HDR sentiment, those don’t look jaw dropping, they look tacky and over stylized. This is the equivalent of singing through a Vocoder.
HDR sucks…. the only thing you really dropped was my initial intention to browse through your site.
I disagree, HDR can be beautifully done:

I think these images are really amazing and this can be a compliment or not.
I say so because the city is not spectacular as in these images (they are more images than photographs), so we have an image out of the reality.
These images are great to show the power of giant firms, banks, etc, but not for the people.

Not normally keen on urban stuff as I much prefer mother nature! But these are great, HDR is a bit over done though and would be better in moderation but some fantastically dramatic angles.
I’ve done some (abandoned) urban photography as well. This is probably my favorite of them:
