Photographer documents the beauty of new York

Phil Penman takes new York, capturing the unique spirit of the "Big Apple". This series consists of amazing black and white portraits of eccentric characters of new York, as well as living street scenes.

Penman your photo argues that the city that never sleeps, is never boring. The British photographer used to live in Los Angeles, but moved to new York.

"I like to shoot on the street — so I know everything. Know someone who begs, and then drives a good car," says Penman.

"Once homeless warned me about the bomb threat. As it turned out, knew that only the police and the homeless, because they know everything!" — says the photographer.
