NYC STREET PORTRAITS

Inspired by the street art of Diane Arbus and August Sander, I picked up my camera in 1991 to begin my first serious photography project. My character portraits, gathered from the streets and parks of Lower Manhattan, caught the attention of New York Magazine’s photo editor who put me to work on a special New York street portrait issue. This collection garnered the prestigious Deadline Club award for Excellence in Journalism, and afforded me a chance to explore and define my own stylistic imprint in the street photography tradition.
