"Two pivotal moments in my life shaped my understanding of who I am and who I could become. The first occurred when I enrolled in an acting class. This experience taught me to introspect and embrace my individuality. I discovered the value of speaking truthfully from my unique perspective and life experiences.
The second transformative moment came with the purchase of a camera. This tool prompted me to look outward, encouraging me to explore my curiosities without reservation. Through photography, I learned the virtues of sensitivity, empathy, and patience. The camera became a powerful instrument, illustrating the significance of feeling seen and understood.
Both of these life-altering lessons unfolded in my birthplace, New York City, where losing yourself is easy amid constant change and the ebb and flow of people. Photography, for me, became a means of making sense of the city's fleeting nature, grounding me in a space that often challenges my existence.
In a city like New York, photography is paramount. It offers documentation, a reminder of our place in the city's unfolding story before we are engulfed by the next waves of change." - Jason Roman
