"New York in black and white" is a collection of 50 photographs taken in the Big Apple. The shoots describe the unique aspects of New York, I wanted to tell the human side of the city. New York is a great modern metropolis that at first contact for a foreigner can be intimidating, but if you immerse yourself in its atmosphere, you can see in a short time the most authentic face of the city. The Big Apple is not just a collection of skyscrapers and busy streets but a very lively city. Managers and tourists gather at Briant Park or Central Park or any other place to relax in the shade of buildings and then immersing themselfes in the hectic life of the city . The pictures tell the city trying to convey its most "human" side, even the skyscrapers seen through the branches of the trees appear to be "alive" and not just a set of concrete and steel. The book takes us around the avenue for making us experience the city in a different way, taxis, steaming manholes, large fire trucks become travelling companions.
