Fig 1 - Paul Strand - Wall Street, New York (1915)
Referred as the pure photography movement, straight photography had come along with the development of Photo-Secession.
Pure photography has been defined as containing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, that is interpreted with any other art form.
Stieglitz had recognised the shift in artistic development during the years of 1909 - 10 as he had started showing non - photographic modern art such as avant - garde modern artists: Rodin, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso in Camera Work, a magazine that he create within the Photo-Secession group, Group f/64. Stieglitz had put effort to get pictorial photography back on its feet by garnering acknowledgement of photography as an art form to art museums, including his expansion into non - photographic areas within the magazine's pages but the publication had been rejected.

In 1917, The final issues of Camera Work had caught an eye in a young photographer, Paul Strand, whom had stunning, remarkable work that was enhanced with soft focus and had a symbolic approach towards pictorialism in a perspective that emphasised the elegance and refinance of clean lines and forms of ordinary objects and shapes. This style had directed the form of movement into a new direction for the photographic art world.
