For the 50th anniversary of the Pride March comes a visual celebration of the diverse, vibrant, and exuberant attendees of New York City’s Pride.
This gorgeous bright book honors the colorful celebrants of the New York City Pride March and Dyke March, capturing the faces that bring the rainbows and liveliness Pride shines with today. Through joyful portraits of two hundred LGBTQ+ community members and allies from New York City’s WorldPride, this is a resplendent one-of-a-kind volume, a portal to the spirit, sequins, and sexual liberty of the weekend, a keepsake tribute to the power of love over hate, and a meaningful touchstone, immortalizing the effervescence, excitement, and positive energy of those who attend.
To make this incredible volume, renowned Northeastern photographer, Alyssa Blumstein, who was featured on Vice’s Motherboard, photographed Pride attendees of all ages and races, sexual orientations, and genders – native New Yorkers and those who’d come in from around the world to attend the parade. The result is an extraordinary keepsake package that channels the essence and person-on-the-street nature of Humans of New York to showcase poignant and joyful portraits of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
Alyssa Blumstein is a renowned photographer who previously worked as a food photographer and the director of social media for Dale Talde’s Three Kings Restaurant Group. Her collections such as Weakest Link, where she documented hundreds of abandoned printers from around the world, have been featured by media outlets such as Vice’s Motherhood. Her vibrant work celebrates people and events. Blumstein works in Boston and New York City.
