Biography
Gerard Doolan is a British-born New York photographer, and for over 15 years he has documented the city’s rapid and dynamic changes. Through his black-and-white images, he reimagines familiar icons from compelling perspectives, capturing the lives lived—in tragedy or triumph—and suspending the passage of time to immortalise them forever.
As a visual chronicler of the breathtaking drama on the street, Doolan’s photographs pulsate with a metropolitan spirit and the bewildering complexities of the human condition in the modern world. By evoking a distinct sense of place and converging the splendour and squalor of the metropolis, his work forms an open letter to New York and the generations of people who have called it home.
His work has earned international recognition, including being published in various magazines and monographs (listed below) and showcased by Leica USA and widely on social media.
