Portraits of students in English as a Second Language classes
 |
A few years ago chance favored me by placing a wide variety of amazing people in front of my lens: students in ESL classes. Some were photographed in front of plain black backgrounds. Then a friend gave me a title for the project: Becoming New York. That led to asking people to choose a place in New York City that was important to them and using that as the stage on which they were photographed. This resulted in learning the fascinating stories of people from around the world as we traveled from the Brooklyn Bridge to Hell's Kitchen. Posted here are five black and white portraits from that project.
