Manhattan (New York City) is a paradise for window-shoppers. The big brands try to outdo each other by having extravagant displays. This lady was attracted by this spectacular window dummy which by coincidence hat a similar haircut like her.
The overarching theme of my photography is the children’s game “I see something you don’t see”, as I try to capture the special in the everyday. I like regular shapes and structures of any kind. I further have a weakness for the ephemeral as well as for animals and plants. In my street photography people are interchangeable anonymous actors, hence you typically don’t recognise their faces. Animals are part of the city life and their irregular activity contrasts with the regular forms of streets and buildings, whose leading lines ideally aim for a corner of the picture.
