Norman Lerner worked as a fashion and commercial photographer in New York City from the early 50’s to the 70’s. He states that, “my photography did not end when the model left the studio. The city and its people were a part of me and I was part of them. Everything about the city fascinated me so it seemed only natural for me as a photographer to record the people and places in which I lived. When I left the studio the camera was always with me and it became an extension of my being. It was as natural as breathing.”
