About The Collection
NEW YORK CITY STREETS.
New York City amazes me – a melting pot where, despite the mixture of lives and cultures, people preserve their own individuality. Those single identities I like to observe and catch trough my camera.In these photographs the juxtaposition of elements combines with vivid colors and the high contrast of lights and shadows to convert ordinary moments of life into surrealistic scenes.
