I am very aware of the fact that streetphotography in New York City
is an all too well trodden path.
It is almost impossible to avoid clichés or even add something to it.
So almost every picture of New York City has to be a failure from the start;
a cliché, a bore, a secondhand emotion, a gotspe.
So here I was again, in this city that I know so well.
An official senior now, not on an assignment and without appointments:
just walking around like a gentlemen of leisure; a visitor.
So I photographed to amuse myself.
And to have a party.

Informazioni sull'autore
Herman Wouters
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
I focus on projects recording places and objects in the public urban landscape. The photographs deal with vernacular subject matter and take note of human nature, in likely and unlikely places, revealing an often overlooked sign language of the street. This "Slow Photography", that balances on the edge between an actual documentation and personal vision, is often edited in small editions of self published photobooks and zines.
