Infrared NYC | Paolo Pettigiani | New York (USA) | By Lee Fleming

Taken in May 2016, the Infrared NYC is a photography series by Italian grapic designer and photographer Paolo Pettigiani which caught the IDMCo team's attention for all the right reasons. Torino-based Pettigiani offers a refreshing perspective on New York through his series of fine art prints which capture iconic views including the Big Apple as seen from Central Park. The Infrared NYC series uses infrared digital photography to capture only the light that we can't see resulting in pink-hued portraits of places that are familiar yet look yet fantastical. Pettigiani explains the process of capturing the Infrared NYC photography on his Behance:

Plants that have chlorophyll, such as grass, leaves and trees, strongly reflect this invisible infrared light. The Chlorophyll is reflected by plant for the 20% on the green, visible to the human eyes, the other 80% is reflected on the infrared spectrum that we can’t see. With the infrared digital photography, using a special filter in front fo the lens, I have blocked the visible light capturing only the invisible. Other elements as sphalt, bricks, water and other surfaces do not reflect the infrared light so the keep the same colors.

About two years ago I started working with infrared photography, shooting landscapes near Turin, my hometown. My first experimental series was taken in winter time and was focused on the contrast between the snow and the color of nature. Talking about infrared, this is the first real project as a mean of artistic expression. What I like of this kind of photography is to make visible something invisible. My aim is to show something recognizable under a new unexpected and personal point of view.

7 Days in New York | New York | By Mike Gannon

I spent several days at the end of September researching Brooklyn for our next installment of the IDMCo map series. Having previously been based around Williamsburg I ventured further afield this time to explore Manhattan's Soho and Bushwick, a fast growing neighbourhood in the northern part of Brooklyn. The images above offer a insight into my time alongside the pleasure of meeting Daniella Valasco and Adam Goldberg of Drift Magazine, and Tanya Landeta of AP café.

All You Can Eat Press | Brooklyn, New York (USA) | By Lee Fleming

All You Can Eat Press is a Brooklyn-based independent publishing company that champions everyday good for everyday people. Created and published by Yuki Matsuo, the All You Can Eat maps are designed neither to be a gourmet guide or a critical survey but a honest celebration of the best everyday eats in New York.

Having started with the Doughnut map, Yuki has grown the All You Can Eat series to include burgers, ramen, diner, oysters and croissants in Paris. Beautifully illustrated, each fold-out map is easily digestible and features hard-to-find local food knowledge alongside collaborations with The New York Pizza Project, Julie Qiu of In A Half Shell and Yuriko Yamamoto, a pâtissière and European pastry researcher. The attention to detail with each All You Can Eat map is commendable, printed in New York the white, in coated maps are a manageable size while on the move (7.5" x 3.5" folded; 15" x 21" open). Protected in a wax paper food bag with a rubber stamp sticker seal, the Burger map even includes a wet wipe for greasy fingers.

Highly recommended when visiting New York whether you're a foodie or not, we're just jealous of the painstaking research Yuki had to endure in trialling all the recommendations on the map, especially the doughnuts!
