Trope Washington DC - (Trope City Editions) by Michelle Fitzgerald (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Trope Washington, DC, the tenth volume in the Trope City Edition series, celebrates the architecture and urban landscapes of the nation's capital. The collection highlights the photographic images of emerging and independent photographers from Washington, DC and beyond.

This carefully curated and bound collection of photographs offers a new and fresh perspective of Washington, DC. Each chapter is accompanied by a map, along with the locations where the photographs were taken. From the monuments of the National Mall to the colorful houses of Georgetown to the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin, these images command a strong point of view: digitally processed, filtered, toned, de-saturated, sharpened, for a very urban sensibility. Showcasing both the historical grandeur and quiet elegance of contemporary Washington DC, the images reveal distinctive and dramatic visions of one of the world's most important cities.

Review Quotes

"Washington, D.C., is one of the world's most photographed capitals, yet surprisingly few photography books look beyond its marble icons and polished symbolism. Trope Washington, DC, succeeds precisely because it lingers in quieter corners of the city and beyond the familiar tourist gaze, revealing a capital shaped as much by mood, texture, and atmosphere as by its iconic landmarks." - Highbrow Magazine
