Stop, Prince Street, New York

When Life Tells You to STOP: A Prince Street New York Story

Walking down Prince Street in New York, I was caught up in the usual SoHo rush. Tourists clutching shopping bags, locals checking their phones, everyone moving with that distinctly Manhattan urgency. Then suddenly, I notice him: one man standing perfectly still amidst the chaos, his STOP sign a beacon of calm in the urban storm.

This is the moment I captured. And it's now available as a stunning limited-edition print (only 10 available!) from The Limited 10 series.

Using a semi-long exposure technique, handheld, I've transformed this ordinary Prince Street New York scene into something quite extraordinary. The construction worker remains razor-sharp, a study in stillness and purpose, whilst everyone else becomes a ghostly blur of movement. It's a visual metaphor that speaks to our times. The lone individual holding steady whilst the world spins frantically around them.

This photograph will be featured at the Best of Black and White exhibition at Valid Hall in Barcelona this November, joining other exceptional works that explore the power of monochrome photography. That's the calibre of company this piece keeps.

But technical brilliance means nothing without proper presentation. That's why this print is created on Hahnemühle Pearl paper, the Rolls-Royce of photographic papers. The bright white base provides exceptional clarity, whilst the delicately textured surface offers a smooth, silky feel. The subtle pearl-gloss effect adds depth and elegance, ensuring colours remain vibrant and contrasts stay sharp for generations to come.

Here's why this limited-edition Prince Street New York print belongs in your collection:

• Captures the essence of urban life: experience the energy and contradictions of SoHo through this powerful street photography moment
• Technical mastery on display: long exposure technique transforms movement into art, creating visual poetry from everyday chaos
• Exhibition-quality presentation: featured at Valid Hall Barcelona's prestigious Best of Black and White exhibition
• Museum-grade materials: Hahnemühle Pearl paper ensures exceptional detail reproduction with outstanding age resistance
• Collector's exclusivity: only 10 prints available at this price; practically unique artwork for your space
• Conversation starter: a piece that invites contemplation about our relationship with time and urban rhythms

Prince Street has been the heartbeat of SoHo since the neighbourhood transformed from industrial warehouses to the artistic and cultural centre it is today. This photograph captures that spirit: the blend of working-class authenticity and contemporary sophistication that makes this corner of New York so magnetic.

Don't wait. With only 10 prints available, this opportunity to own a piece of Prince Street New York magic won't be here long.

The Limited 10

Every month, I offer a limited edition print for sale. Only 10 prints of each image are available in one size: 11.8×15.8 inches (300x400mm, including margins when needed). All at a fixed, affordable price.

As you can imagine, prints for private collectors come at a high price. They’re tailored to specific needs (even down to catering to the available light in their rooms), are often very large, use expensive frames, etc.
The Limited 10 is my way of giving something of value to everyone. They are high-quality prints, as good as any I have ever sold. And they’re very much exclusive: there are only 10 prints. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

They are only available in fixed sizes and unframed to keep costs low.
