Perfect Strangers: New York City Street Photographs

Over the last seven years, Melissa O’Shaughnessy has photographed daily on the streets of New York, capturing fleeting moments when the light, the people, and the chaos of the city collide in surprising, poignant, and humorous ways. As one of only a few women street photographers contributing to this dynamic genre, O’Shaughnessy enters the territory with clarity and a distinctly humanist eye. Perfect Strangers is a refreshing addition to the tradition of street photography.
