About Artist
Michele Palazzo
Italian by blood, Architect by training, and Photographer by heart. A visual storyteller, weaving narratives through people’s movements and emotions. I live and operate in New York City. I have received great acclaim for my photographs featuring architecture and city life, especially for a recent series captured during the Winter Storm Jonas in 2016. These photographs showcase deserted winter cityscapes that capture an enchanting side of New York City, often overshadowed in modern times. They offer another glimpse of what makes New York such a unique place. My photos capture the people, their environment, movements, and emotions. I’m fascinated by the small details that connect us as humans in our daily lives. It has become a routine for me to document these mundane moments. My photography is an ongoing exploration. It’s all about discovering a sense of place and connection in the dynamic and diverse tapestry of city life.
