Observational by nature, photographer Omar Emera records his musings of a chaotic city gone quiet in his inaugural exhibition and photography book “Goodnight New York”.

Emera began working in Manhattan for his family’sbusiness at the age of 13, fully immersing him in the hustle of the city lifestyle. While commuting back-and-forth after the COVID-19 executive orders were set forth by Governor Cuomo, Emera captured New York City’s iconic places without the usual noise exclusively on his iPhone.

“Goodnight New York” is a fusion of his love of black and white photography and editorial design.
