"Lou Reed's New York" is a photo collection by legendary American musician Lou Reed (1942–2013). As the frontman of the Velvet Underground, he revolutionized rock music. Even through his solo career, he continued to capture the loneliness, light, and shadows of the city, becoming a symbol of New York itself. This book compiles photographs taken in his final years of life, depicting the city he loved. The New York landscapes he had long observed seem to echo the stories he wove through his music. By capturing everyday fragments—the sharp lines of skyscrapers, the back alleys of Brooklyn, and the light streaming along the Hudson River—with his unique perspective, the photographer vividly captures the city's complex expressions and poetic breath. While long expressing the soul of the city through music, Reed now captures his love and memories of New York through another medium: his camera. This book will leave a lasting impression not only on music fans but also on those who appreciate the allure of urban photography.
