New Yorkers

Diversity, eccentricity and humanity are all found in abundance... Regardless of whether or not you’ve been to New York yourself, there’s something to enjoy here. It’s a city which seems to have embedded itself in our global cultural consciousness, so there’s every chance you may feel you recognise some of the characters here anyway... a fascinating study.

A set of more than 70 portraits each taken in less than 30 minutes, always un-staged and captured with on-camera flash only, ‘New Yorkers’ offers the viewer a through-the-keyhole glimpse into the distinct domestic spaces of a colourful cast of characters who live and work in the Big Apple. Looking for an intriguing inside story of big city life? The fascinating ‘New Yorkers’ offers all that, and more.

...this timely book of environmental portraiture will likely fill you with nostalgia, and perhaps a touch of envy. NEW YOKERS is a voyeur’s dream and an anthropological masterclass all rolled in to one compelling photobook… Considering that the photographs were made in the months just prior to the pandemic shutdown that was 2020, Davies may have inadvertently earned an award for “most prescient photographer".

New Yorkers is a visual read, to be sure, but it also contains a good deal of text on the subjects and their lives. In this way, the book is an ideal gift for the photography lover or the avid reader of the biographies in your life. Buy a copy, you can thank me later.

Sally Davies’s portraits of larger than life characters in their equally colourful homes offer a glimpse into the grit, elegance, poverty and humanity of an ever-changing city.
