Elizabeth Wintle (UK):

STREETS OF NEW YORK

“Living and studying for a year in New York gave me an insight into the city that I could never have contemplated as a tourist. During this time I fell in love with street photography and spent many hours photographing the diverse ethnic, socioeconomic and gender groups. There are many street parades throughout the year on the streets of New York and the participants are colourful, vibrant and diverse, showing off their amazing and colourful costumes. However, I found in everyday life that many people also displayed clothes that revealed their personality, even though they may not have been consciously aware of their choices, which were just as colourful and interesting.”

Elizabeth Wintle completed a Photography Degree in 2007 in Exeter, England and studied photojournalism and documentary photography in New York. While at university she was offered the opportunity to take part in a student exchange program and spent three months in Sapporo, Japan. She has subsequently taken photographs throughout England, in India, the US and Australia, where she photographed the world’s first set of IVF quads for a long-term project focused on twin, triplets and quads.
