My name is Manuel Pena and I’m a self-taught photographer from New York. I developed my passion for photography in 2015. Since then I moved to capturing everyday moments in the streets of New York. My goal is to tell stories using light, shadow, composition and color. I only have one rule: Shoot anything that interests you and the pieces will fall in place.
About The Collection
Beauty in the mundane
I don’t have a specific goal when I go out on my daily travels. It seems anything can be beautiful. You just have to be open in seeing and knowing when it’s there. I have to admit being a photographer in NYC can be unfair at times. I don’t have to look too hard as there are always things going on around me. These photos represent what New York is through my eyes. Enjoy!
