The People Behind The Lens

Street-level visual journalists documenting the pulse of New York City — all five boroughs, all five years of the season.

Howard Weiss

Photographer · Reporter · Visual Journalist

Street-forged and Brooklyn-born, Howard discovered his passion for photography at John Dewey High School and never put the camera down. Before earning his press credentials, he spent years delivering mail to every address in Brooklyn — a route that gave him an intimate, block-by-block knowledge of the borough that no journalism school could replicate.

Howard founded NYC In Focus to document the city the way he knows it best: from the street level, where the real stories live. Whether he’s on the steps of City Hall, inside a community board meeting in Flatbush, or following a breaking story across the bridge, his lens captures the moments that define the five boroughs.

His photography has appeared on Shutterstock, Getty Images, and Alamy, and his reporting runs regularly as a neighborhood correspondent for BK Reader. He holds an active NYC Press credential and has covered events ranging from civic protests to cultural galas across all five boroughs.

Pamela Goldstein

Street Photographer · Documentary Artist

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Pamela spent her formative years absorbing the textures, tensions, and fleeting grace of city life before she ever picked up a camera. Her backgrounds in fashion and psychology gave her an unusual sensitivity to what people reveal — and conceal — in public space.

Her documentary practice centers on the unscripted interactions that happen when no one is watching: the quiet arguments, the spontaneous kindnesses, the solitary figures caught between moments. She photographs New York not as spectacle but as a shared emotional landscape, and her work asks viewers to slow down and really look.

A featured finalist in Women Street Photography and a recognized contributor to local publications and nonprofits across New York, Pamela brings both rigor and empathy to every frame. Her collaboration with NYC In Focus deepens the publication’s commitment to ground-level visual journalism.
