Traffic Light Shot New York

In New York, 2009. This image is a bit of a cliche but I like it – particularly for the backdrop of 1930s faded adverts on the old building gable end. I think this shot was taken around 7th Avenue and 42nd Street – not far from Times Square.

Bryant Park New York

Bryant Park is a nice pleasant surprise. One minute you are scrambling around the concrete skyscrapers of New York, the next minute a lovely tranquil park space opens up. Its not big by any stretch of the imagination but it is certainly relaxing and a welcome respite from the hum of busy New Yorkers

Alternative shot of the Brooklyn Bridge

On the Brooklyn side I wandered around Dumbo. For the uninitiated, this is the Developments Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. From here, I started to think about ways in which I could shoot the Bridge from different, less traditional places. In the end, I headed back to Manhattan and shot this from a Helipad further South of the Bridge.

End Of Wall Street – New York City

admin — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 21:03:21 +0000

Apparently Wall Street gets its name because it was where the Wall used to stand for the end of Manhattan. As time progressed, more and more of the island was consumed by building. Anyone who has been to New York will realise that this must have been early on in the development of the city as the area from the tip of Manhattan to Wall Street is tiny.

Skyscraper New York

Sometimes the best photographs in New York happen when you look upwards. This photograph was taken in 2009 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan

In memory of those who perished on September 11th 2001.

“NEW YORK” is the debut work of THE PHOTOGRAPH(ERS), the brand-new duo from Moscow, Russia. The song written by Vasiliy Butuzov in a memory of victims of 9/11 was inspired by the story of photojournalist Bill Biggart, who took his final shot of his life at 10:28:24 a.m. on September 11th, 2001, when the North Tower of the World Trade Centre collapsed upon him. Four days later, searchers found his body, his burnt-edged press cards, his three demolished cameras, six rolls of film, and one small undisturbed compact flash card carrying almost 150 digital images. Bill’s wife, Wendy Doremus, kindly provided the band with those photos for the video with acoustic version of the song. With the great help of the British-born photographer M A Andrew and New York City based Peter Foley (The New York Times, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, People, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post and others), who’s image from the coverage of 9/11 was included for Newsweek “Picture of Year”, the work was finally completed. With this video, the band wanted to pay tribute to the people who died on this tragic day and to the one of the world’s greatest cities.

Flat Iron Building, New York

The flat iron building is one of New York’s most iconic buildings. Its proper name is the Fuller building and it was constructed in 1902. At this time it was one of New York’s tallest buildings.

Apparently Central Park attracts 25 million visitors a year. Yet inside the park, you can find space and peace in the middle of New York.
