13th Witness

- Blurb -

His first book will showcase his singular vision of New York City. He flies, climbs, and spelunks all over the city, and the end result is thrilling: nighttime cityscape aerials, subway tunnels, basketball courts under the shadows of bridges, Coney Island during a blizzard, and so many others. Known professionally as 13th Witness, this born-and-raised New Yorker has amassed more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, where he posts intimate portraits, landscapes from his frequent global travels. Now for the first time, 13th Witness: The City collects the photographer' s signature dynamic city pictures--celebrated landmarks and little-seen corners of New York' s five boroughs. Images include well-known attractions like NY Harbor and Statue of Liberty; One World Trade Center; Empire State Building; Central Park; Brooklyn Bridge; Coney Island; Met Park Slope; Grand Army Plaza; and Rockaway Beach. His photos also drill down below the popular sights and include defunct subway stations, train yards, skate parks, and blacktop basketball courts--all a testament to the photographer' s hustle and grit and a dazzling chronicle of his point of view of his hometown New York City in the twenty-first-century. Dizzying aerials, empty perhaps with the exception of the photographer' s close-knit posse, and his street-centric vision of NYC is sure to appeal not only to his loyal fanbase but those the world over looking for a fresh new vision of the beloved city.
