Resist protest New York CIty | Limited Edition of 10
Powerful NYC Demonstration Captured in Fine Art
This was one of those moments where the air was electric—where the crowd didn’t just gather, it surged with purpose. Captured during a protest in New York City, this black and white image freezes a crowd unified by anger, hope, and defiance. It’s loud without sound, emotional without theatrics. This is what democracy looks like—messy, moving, human.
I was in the middle of it all, camera at my side, not standing above or apart from the scene. That matters. Photography, for me, has never been about voyeurism—it’s participation. It’s witnessing with intention. These people weren’t just holding signs. They were holding decades of frustration, loss, and hard-won solidarity. Look closer and you’ll catch signs that read “Black Lives Matter,” “Resist and Persist,” “Radical Inclusion.” The typography might be bold, but it’s the expressions that carry the weight—focus, fire, resilience.
New York has always had a pulse you can’t ignore. But on days like this, it beats louder. The sunlight bounced off concrete and sweat alike, and still, people didn’t flinch. They stood shoulder to shoulder, strangers drawn together by shared truth. That’s what I love about street photography—when it captures more than a single subject. It captures climate. Mood. Movement. And this image—this flash of protest and presence—is part of that larger narrative I’ve spent years documenting.
I don’t take sides in an image. I take presence. And presence here was loud and proud.
If you’re drawn to moments that challenge, provoke, or simply refuse to look away, you might want to dig deeper into my Protest Photography Collection. And for more work rooted in the raw heart of the city, my New York City Black and White Collection captures its grit, resilience, and rhythm.
