Photography

Todd Webb was an American photographer known for his documentary approach to urban and architectural subjects in the postwar period. Working primarily in black and white, he captured the texture and detail of American cities and rural landscapes with a direct, unflinching eye. His practice emphasized the material fact of the photograph itself, rejecting sentimentality in favor of formal clarity and compositional precision. Webb's archive includes extensive bodies of work documenting vernacular architecture, street life, and industrial infrastructure across the United States.
