allcitiesarebeautiful.com is a platform focused on contemporary documentary photography and reflective writing, with a dedication to examining the changes occurring in urban environments due to industrialization, suburbanization, and commercialization. Established in 2018, the platform primarily serves as a directory of photographers, writers, and international publishers, functioning as a hub for accessing their works.[1]

Philosophy and Approach edit

The platform features a mix of emerging photographers and established artists, united by their shared interest in cities, the built environment, and its human dimensions. The photography style emphasized on the platform is characterized by a direct approach that highlights the form, function, and context of urban subjects.[1]

Inspired by the ethos of The New Topographic Movement, the platform's aesthetic challenges conventional perceptions of urbanization, exploring the interplay between beauty and banality in the built environment. Through the perspectives of the photographers showcased on the platform, audiences are provided with insights into the multifaceted nature of urban environments, encouraging a reconsideration of established narratives and viewpoints.[2]
