Bella Foster : New York City / photography

This is a collection of photographs from my trip to America mid last year. We visited Los Angeles for a few days to see family and then I laid my eyes on the big apple for the first time ever. It was crazy being in a city that was so familiar, having seen it in movies and TV for my whole life and yet it felt so different to what I had expected. We stayed at a small air bnb in Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant) so we got the full New York experience. The bustling chaos of New York was overwhelming and I wanted to translate this into my photography, yet almost viewing things through rose tinted glass, creating a slightly more clam and toned down feel.
These images are a small fraction of the things I noticed through the eye of my camera. Picking up similar pink and yellow tones to my previous series, however I wanted to capture the grittiness of this crazy city through my photos, giving them a different look to my previous work. Again, I have chosen to pair images together to tell my story, creating a relationship between unexpected things and people.
