“Of all the neighbourhoods I have lived in since I moved to New York City in 1997, none have affected me like Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. I felt it immediately: before the moving truck even left the curb I had made a portrait. That year, in 2015, I started making street portraits of people in Bed-Stuy with my Rolleiflex. At that time I had no idea how extensive the series would become. Although all of my projects derive from a personal endearment, these, set in the streets I call home, feel even more so.” — Amy Touchette

“Her loving portraits remind us that Brooklyn is still a multi-generational neo-African village in places, and optically thriving while Black with transparent soul power.” — Greg Tate
