Because of graffiti and most of all street art are very temporary art forms, it’s necessary to document the urban artworks. For that reason, there are several more or less famous photographers, who are specialized in documenting street art and graffiti in its urban contexts.
These are some of the best urban art photographers you should heard of:
Keegan Gibbs
One of the most important and best-known graffiti photographers is Keegan Gibbs. His main focus lies more on the artists than on the artworks. Because of that, he went along with several well-known American writers, such as Augor from Los Angeles. You can take a look at his dynamic and rough photos on keegangibbs.com.
Paviani
Belgian photographer Paviani is not only urban art documentarist, but can be safely added to this list. His mostly monochrome graffiti photos often show artists during spraying. Take a look at the photos on his website.
Martha Cooper
The US-American Martha Cooper is unfortunately the only female urban art photographer in this list, but her legendary “Subway Art” book, which was published in 1984, is a milestone in the medial writing documentation. Take a look at her blog on 12ozprophet.com.
Mr. T
The Frenchman Mr. T is also an important urban photographer. His photos often convince with attractive perspectives and interesting colors. There are some of his photos on fotolog.com.
