Alberto Presti – Bystanding New York

“Bystanding New York” takes you on a street photography journey into the pulsating heart of the Empire State. As an outsider in the city, my project tries to capture the raw emotions and narratives of true New Yorkers – the dreamers, the hustlers, and the relentless workers – and dives deep into the essence of New York City’s vibrant spirit. In the bustling streets of the Big Apple, towering skyscrapers dominate the skyline and yellow cabs navigate the urban maze. Every corner unveils a tale of resilience, ambition, and unwavering determination. Through my lens, I aimed to peel back the layers of the New York State of Mind, where hopes and struggles intertwine and where dreams and realities are faced head-on. Alberto Presti – @kaleido.light
