Maxyme Delisle is a canadian photographer based in Montreal. His personnal website shows his works in the fields of edition or fashion, for which he shot many pictures. But I would like to talk about a more artistic part of his activities, through this article about his series "Christmas in New York city". A series shot in winter 2007 when the artist was selling Christmas trees in the Big Apple.
Black and White photographs, full of subtle details, drawing the portrait of a night population haunting the cold nights of these streets of Big Apple. Portraits of homeless, alcoholics, workers or passers-by that the artist met. Each portrait is captionned by a little story introducing the characters, which warms a lot these pictures of cold winter nights.
I suggest you seriously to visit the website and to read the captions, I think it's the best way to really appreciate these photographs.
