NEW YORK CITY by RENÉ NUIJENS (1993)
In 1993 I stayed for 3 month in downtown New York during my study at the Royal Art Academy in Den Hague, the Netherlands. I had a Nikon F2 and I shot about 20 rolls of Kodak Tri-x films. I did not have the money to shoot more.
Back then it was a bit inspired by steet-photographers: Henri Cartier-Bresson, August Sander and Diana Arbus. I studied the compositions on photographs and paintings. 'Why do some photographs stay interesting and why some not'? Also the light and diagonal lines were very important for me. My graphic background developed in this way.
I have never done anything with these photographs which is a real pity. The passing years are making them even more stronger. I finally scanned in everything in a low resolution and put them on my website. Here are a couple of the low res scans (all rights reserved). I am hoping on a museum or a gallery who's interested in the series. Thanks!
