Photographer Cheryl Dunn has been capturing life in New York City for more than 30 years. See images she captured from the city's newly quiet streets
puzzle pass kerri Photo: Cheryl Dunn New York City–based photographer and documentary filmmaker Cheryl Dunn has been capturing life in the boroughs for just over 30 years. While she has experience shooting editorial, fashion, and advertising, her passion is for documenting street life. “It’s a window into humanity and humor, our pathos,” she says. “I get a kick out of observing it and I love doing it.
Since the city’s stay-at-home order began in March, Dunn has been spending her days biking and walking the streets to capture the typically bustling, chaotic city at its quietest. “It’s cool in a different way,” she says. “New York is always cool. Well, I guess cool isn’t really the word. It has this essence to it that’s always intriguing, that’s poetic and amazing.” The character of New York is one that has been depicted in movies, books, and television from time immemorial.
“There’s this sarcastic kind of nature that is intrinsic to New Yorkers because, you know, it’s a tough town,” she says. “If you don’t have a sense of humor, if you take yourself so seriously, you’re going to crack in half. You have to have this flexibility on how to roll with the punches and those are the people who survive. Those are the people that thrive.”
