NYC Street & Documentary Photographer | Brooklyn Film Photography | That Ninja Jay's Photos

Street & Documentary

Street and documentary photography is where I started. Armed with a Canon Rebel and then later a Canon AE-1 program film camera, I would wander New York City capturing the candid, the political, the joyful, and the overlooked — from Brooklyn's sidewalks to Manhattan's parks, protests, and subway platforms.
