"New York Noir" is inspired by the 1940 Film Noir. It is filled with a sense of danger, it is violent and upbeat, simple and timeless, like my New York.Everything seemed possible and vibrant. I hated it one day and loved it the next. I responded to the city with my heart and never stopped capturing the monumental mess that it is and the exhilaration it provokes.All my wildest dreams came true in New York, and I hope my photos captured a city that I viewed critically but affectionally and to which I bear an immense gratitude."- Jean Pierre Laffont, New York, March 2026 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/b0f9e600-f9f0-11f0-9d40-f32f9ceafad0-rimg-w1103-h740-dc474747-gmir.jpg ABOUT JEAN-PIERRE LAFFONTJean-Pierre Laffont is a pioneering French-American photojournalist whose powerful lens has chronicled some of the most pivotal events of the 20th century.
