Overview

A striking photography collection capturing New York City's hidden beauty, human stories, and overlooked urban details. New York City's Times Square, Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 34th Street are among its most world-renowned destinations famous for their glittering lights, landmark buildings, and designer shops. But for Xiomáro, the real attraction is the evocative mash-up of people within its grittier streets. Like a spirit sweeping into the crowds, his candid photography reveals the city's unique character. Captivating images celebrate the humanity of its subjects. Other photographs are simply unusual or propel the imagination to private interpretations. Detached from the physical world yet drawn to it, Xiomáro highlights the serendipity of daily life, overlooked architectural details, and obscure points of interest. The collection artistically freezes the human condition and the city's hidden beauty for examination in ways that cannot be appreciated within Manhattan's real-time chaotic swirl of energy--it also documents our times as ""future history."" Xiomáro's work has been covered by The New York Times and PBS and exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and China. Before overcoming cancer and pursuing photography, Xiomáro was an attorney representing celebrities, recording artists, and other creative talent in the entertainment industry.
