Cinematic Reality: NYC | New York Street Photography

Introducing the second installment of Cinematic Reality, a short-film series highlighting my photography along with cinematic behind-the-scenes footage. This episode focuses on the streets of New York City. The footage and photos shown in this video were taken from 2019-2024, with most of it being shot in 2024. This film features most of what interests me while wandering the streets of New York. It explores multiple boroughs, the streets and the underground, day and night, rain and shine, through parades and fires, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this raw & gritty perspective that’s not the typical “cinematic New York” videos you might see elsewhere.

If you enjoyed this video, I’d love for you to check out my new digital zine “Street Notes Vol. 2: NYC” that complements this film.
Alongside high-resolution versions of all the photos featured in the film, Street Notes also includes ⬇

A breakdown of the camera, lens, and settings used for each shot
The neighborhood/location of each photo
Behind-the-scenes insights, thoughts on the creative process, or context on specific photos, neighborhoods, or themes
Some bonus unseen photos not included in this film, alternate angles, or contact sheets

Think of it as the director’s cut—a deeper dive into Cinematic Reality: NYC.
