NY Through the Lens

Nearly a decade ago, Vivienne Gucwa began walking the streets of New York with the only camera she could afford, 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. Having limited equipment forced her to learn about light, composition and colour, and her burgeoning talent won her blog thousands of readers – and wide recognition in the photographic community. Based on her blog of the same name, NY Through the Lens is filled with spectacular photographs and Vivienne’s own insightful commentary. the 192-page hardback will be available in October for £20.

A poetic photographic vision of the world’s most exciting city
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 colour, and her burgeoning talent won her blog thousands of readers – and wide recognition in the photographic community.
Based on her blog of the same name, NY Through the Lens showcases the stunning results of her ongoing quest. Filled with spectacular photographs and illuminated by Vivienne’s own insightful commentary, this book 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.
Vivienne Gucwa is followed by thousands and has won acclaim across the industry and the media alike – most recently being named Sony’s 9th Artisan of Imagery.
