The objective is to create a unique journalistic photography exhibit of New York street musicians, interweaved with intimate narratives of their passion, hope and despair. The raw imagery and intense details artistically portray these individuals as not only artists, but also as the invisible entrepreneurs that exist among us. Their music touches us in ways we may not realize, and their stories reveal the tenacity and resourcefulness that is key to every aspiring entrepreneur. The photos are taken with no artificial lighting or studio setup. The prints will be made on matte boards without cover or framing to preserve their unpolished daily surrounding. A few selected musicians are to perform throughout the week to accompany the photography. We want our audience and viewers to walk away from the combination of visual and audio experience with a new sense of perspective on street musicians, inspiration to pursue their own passion, and a renewed understanding of entrepreneurship.
