TABLOID PORTFOLIO SERIES
“The papers”

“A tribute to the rock and roll lifestyle in New York City”.

Born in 2016 as a tool to share my photography, this paper quickly turned into my own way of documenting the rock and roll scene in New York City.
Never with the intention of being representational of either the bands or the bars, this project reflects my experience of it all, and my commitment to collect and archive what goes on in the city’s bars and venues, where rock and punk thrive every day.
