2026-01-28T12:00:00-05:00

New York City street photographer Daniel Arnold is known for his raw and invasive captures of locals on the City streets. In this video profile by Vogue, follow Arnold as he explores all five boroughs looking for subjects.

Brooklyn-based filmmakers Mika Altskan and Matvey Fiks follow street photographer Daniel Arnold over three days and across the five boroughs as the photographer homes in on his subjects—teenagers lifting weights in an alleyway, grandmothers gossiping on a boardwalk bench, a father who pantomimes throwing his son in a trash can—depicting the diverse, chaotic energy of the city, and Arnold’s method of capturing the moments that can slip past others in all of their humanity-revealing glory.

[BOOKS] Photobook Focuses Entirely on the Unique New York City Pigeon

2024-08-14T12:00:00-04:00

The New York Pigeon: Behind the Feathers is an interesting new photobook by photographer, author, and New Yorker, Andrew Garn that focuses on the under-appreciated beauty of the New York City pigeon.

The New York Pigeon is a photography book that reveals the unexpected beauty of the omnipresent pigeon as if Vogue magazine devoted its pages to birds, rather than fashion models. In spite of pigeons' ubiquity in New York and other cities, we never really see them closely and know very little about their function in the urban ecosystem. This book brings to light the intriguing history, behavior and splendor of a bird that we frequently overlook.

Purchase the 144-page hardcover book on Amazon.
