New York High Life / Low Life

At the end of the 1980s, society photographer Dafydd Jones began a new life in New York. He had been hired by Vanity Fair to attend the most talked-about parties in the city and soon found himself descending into a world of human tableaux, ladies who lunch, princesses in powder rooms and dachshunds scrapping over canapés. During the day, he captured the city streets and the ordinary citizens grounded in the real world. In these pages, the author reveals the story of New York, the highs and the lows, as the ’90s unfolded in front of his expert lens.
