This page shows a selection of realistic photographs taken in various cities from 1977 to 2014.

Realism tries to catch aspects of life in the everchanging flow of situations we get in touch with every day.

I believe that both with painting or photography, realism is not yet reality.
As René Magritte used to say, an image of a pipe is not that pipe.

In my opinion, what really matters both with painting and photography, realistic or abstract, is the composition and that is to say the mutual realtionship between the parts.
