Street photographers will never tire of New York as a subject. It is
the perfect setting for the genre, the world's most evocative cityscape,
against which candid, memorable moments play themselves out every day.
Nearly a decade ago, Vivienne Gucwa began walking the streets of the
city with the only camera she could afford a sub-$100 point-and-shoot
and started taking pictures. Choosing a direction and going as far as
her feet would take her, she noticed lines, forms and structures that
had previously gone unnoticed, but which resonated, embodying a sense of
home. Having limited equipment forced her to learn about light,
composition and color, and her burgeoning talent won her blog millions
of readers and wide recognition in the photographic community.
New York Through the Lens showcases the stunning results of her ongoing
quest. Filled with spectacular photographs and illuminated by Vivienne's
own insightful commentary, NY Through the Lens acts as a beautiful
travel guide to the city; it will be a must-read for her many fans and
for any lover of street photography.
