Very Proud To Share This News! My First Photography Book Has Been Published!

Hi FAA!!

I wanted to share this here because I am super happy and since nearly all of the images I have for sale here on FAA are in the book, what better place to share the news?

The book is named after my photography blog which is one of the most popular New York City photography blogs currently: NY Through The Lens (with around 2.5 million people reading it across social media and directly at the blog itself). I feel super grateful to have this opportunity (it's a traditional book deal)!

It's now available in major stores like Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Waterstones, WHSmith, the Strand, etcc.., independent stores, and on Amazon in the U.S., Canada, the U.K, and all over Europe. Feels totally surreal.

The book sold out twice already on Amazon U.S. (it's currently temporarily out of stock) but it's plugging along in Barnes and Noble thankfully!

All the info about the book (sample pages, my photography, my back-story, where it is available) can be found here:

I love the community here on FAA and have interacted with quite a few of you over the past few years in groups, in contests, and here on the forum.

Just wanted to share this because I often see posts from other artists questioning marketing one's work online and/or if art goes places. I sell quite a few prints here on FAA and through social media, I was able to take a dream and turn it into a book and a full-time career.

Happy holiday to you all!!! :)
