Young New York Limited-Edition Portfolio

"In Ethan’s world, the kids who inspire him ought to be (and are) the subjects of his work. Ethan is an artist among so-called image makers." —Hari Nef Ethan James Green’s first monograph presents a selection of striking portraits of New York’s millennial scene-makers, a gloriously diverse cast of models, artists, nightlife icons, queer youth, and gender binary–flouting muses of the fashion world and beyond. Under the mentorship of the late photographer David Armstrong, Green developed a sensitive and confident style and an intense connection with his subjects; his luminous black-and-white portraits, many taken in Corlears Hook Park on the Lower East Side, bring to mind Diane Arbus’s midcentury studies of gender nonconformists. For Young New York, Green photographed his close friends and community for more than three years, and his humanist approach transcends the trends of the moment. Each special limited-edition box set includes three archival pigment prints on Canson Baryta Photographique paper, accompanied by a signed copy of the monograph. The box set is limited to twenty-five numbered copies and five artist’s proofs. Both the prints and monograph are signed by Ethan James Green.
