Australian avenue photographer brings ‘chaos’ of New York to Sydney

Sydney avenue photographer Sam Ferris is ready to unveil his newest exhibition, New York Times, capturing the electrical, chaotic power of New York City within the weeks main as much as the 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

Shot throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, Ferris’s photos doc a metropolis on edge but alive with theatre, efficiency, and resilience.

Reflecting on his work, Ferris stated, “I hurled myself into New York like whiskey down a dry throat, chasing the manic heartbeat of a city that refused to slow down… Democracy was theatre, chaos was ritual, and the streets of New York were the stage.”

In his photos, Trump loyalists and protestors converge on Madison Square Garden, cyclists stage anarchic parades at Bike Kill, and Halloween prophets flood the Village, whereas the streets themselves turn into levels for town’s adrenaline-fueled spectacle.

The exhibition guarantees a sensory expertise of images, noise, and the faint whiff of political delirium.

For Ferris, photographing town was as a lot about survival as storytelling.

“I carried a digital camera not as a defend, however as a method to sieve by way of the noise,” he says.

New York Times opens on Friday 26 September, at Studio 551, 551 King Street, Newtown. Entry is from 6:00 – 9:30 PM.
