New York Faces: Photographer and Bronx Native Terrence Hamilton 👋📸🗽

Restlessness led photographer and Bronx native Terrence Hamilton back to New York after college, but it was his fascination with street puddles reflections and a maxed out phone memory that led him to his life as a photographer. 

After drawing from his experience from a few college photo courses, Hamilton pushed beyond puddles and connected with people.

We caught up with the photographer and he told us about his New York experience: 

"NYC offers me an opportunity to fully explore and live the eclectic and complex man I am. From masculine to feminine, ephemeral to concrete, abstract to simple... and all the feelings.

Photography has always been a spiritual exercise and I love that it compromises such a large part of my life. It had never crossed my mind that I could make money doing something I loved. That was a game changer.

Now, most of my work is in events and portraits. They are almost a yin and yang of human interaction and I love the complexity and subtleties of both.

I still pursue street puddles as well as scenes that speak to larger truths."
