NEW YORK

Bernd Obermann moved to New York in 1996 to experience the city''s vibrant mix of culture, ethnicity and race. For the next five years, he rarely ventured out of doors without his camera, exploring what New York had to offer. These photographs are the results of his walks through the city streets, parks and neighbourhoods. They range from the Bronx to the Battery, from rich to poor, from young to old. Obermann, born in Germany, has worked as a war photographer in Afghanistan, Somalia and Sarajevo. His fashion work has appeared in "Vogue" and "Esquire". This book is published as part of the "Photopocket" series, a series of city guides designed to be easy to use whilst sightseeing.
