The New Yorkers
The New Yorkers

Evocative visual narrative of NYC's dynamic transformation.

If you've ever walked the streets of New York City, or longed to, "The New Yorkers" by Robert Herman could resonate with you deeply. Beyond a mere collection of photographs, it captures the raw rhythm and the unpolished soul of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. The nostalgia of Kodachrome film, entwined with Herman's personal journey, creates a visual empathy that might change the way you see the famed metropolis, and possibly, even photography itself.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The New Yorkers is a glorious look at a city bursting with color and life. It is a body of work full of frozen moments, serendipity, and reflection. Through Robert Herman's work, we recognize the New York we knew and the New York we still know today. His street photography freezes people and places in this city at decisive moments, with spontaneity and authenticity. The city waves at us, looks us right in the eye, and brushes past us, without seeing. It layers images upon images like the best graffiti—always renewing and reforming itself. The New Yorkers is Robert Herman's astounding collection of photographs of New York City, shot between 1978-2005 on Kodachrome. The book immortalizes the transformation of Soho, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, and the Lower East Side. These photos tell an authentic story of New Yorkers living and working in their own neighborhoods. In Herman's bold use of light and composition, he effectively transforms everyday subject matter into vibrant, emotion-filled images. But beyond the stunning photography, it also tells another story—that of Herman's battle with bipolar disorder. A physical representation of the empathy Herman had for his subjects while struggling with his own sense of outsiderness is what makes The New Yorkers of interest to all who know and love the city as well as those who want to know it. Through the lens of my camera, my vulnerability met theirs at the moment of a photograph of someone
