Pedestrians - Street Photography in New York City
These pictures are part of a series I made in the 2 minutes and 26 seconds after 3.38pm on October 19, 2013. I had been walking along W53rd Street when I noticed how the sun, shining down 5th Avenue, was being bounced around by the high-rises and shop fronts.

The sky half promised a colourful sunset so I set off to a location that I had scouted a few days before. I plan my shoots with the happy understanding that they will not go completely (or at all) to plan. It’s one of the reasons I love the whole process of photography.
