Fashion Photobooks to Get Lost In

Published on Milk.XYZ on 10.19.2016

Honorable mention: Subway series - Bruce Davidson
​
First published in 1986, Subway translates the collective subconscious of New York City into documentary photos as mentally agonizing as they’re hauntingly romantic. Bathed in the eerie radiance of Davidson’s flash, commuters in the car expose various stages of defeat, fatigue, anomie, or demented joy. Gritty and thumping with the city’s heartbeat, Subway captures New York in the 80s in all its violence, its madness but also its ever-inspiring humanity.
