The title of this series is “Crossings”. What I look to achieve with these photographs are to pull an individual out from a crowd. In New York City people live a very hectic lifestyle, continually surrounded by others. I want to slow that down. Through capturing that moment in time the viewer is able to take a second look. I fill the frame with people, with only one of them being the main focus. By doing this, I show the viewer something that normally just passes them by. People tend not to slow down and look at everyone passing them. I seek subtle everyday moments on the street and make them noticeable. Every individual shares their own emotions throughout this series, showing the variety of situations that they are involved in. “Crossings” aims to make the viewer take a closer look at everything and everyone that surrounds them. You never know who will pass you by.
