New York Young - Amy Touchette





New York Young looks at the young in New York City. Ranging in ages from about seven to 20, this portrayal of urban burgeoning observes today's youth culture both alone and with peers, as well as their strong relationship to the camera. (2012, new)

I love Amy's street portraits from New York. They tell me a lot about the city and the people living there. I am impressed by how Amy connects to the people she portrays - she is a natural born photographer. - Mr Urbano

This is a great selection.

I'm always a little bit envy of the way photographers like Amy are able to get in contact with their subjects. I think you must have a bit over the average to succeed in it.
