NYC 1981

The NYC 1981 collection documents the raw energy of Manhattan during the artist’s first visit, capturing towering skyscrapers and wide streets. It also highlights the gritty, rundown areas of Harlem and Brooklyn, showcasing a different side of the city. Shot on Ektachrome with a Nikon F, these images reflect the stark contrast between the city’s vibrancy and its more neglected neighbourhoods, offering an authentic snapshot of New York’s diverse atmosphere in the early ’80s.
