Guide to Urban Moonshining


All images © Valery Rizzo

So thrilled to have 3 of my photographs included in Kings County Distillery's new book, Guide to Urban Moonshining, published by Abrams. It is a truly beautiful book written by founders Colin Spoelman and David Haskell, about how to make and drink whiskey, its history and some cocktails and recipes as well.

Brooklyn Book


I have started to think about laying out my Brooklyn book and have settled on this wrap around jacket. I still have some more shooting to do but I think it will help me to see it as an object and work out its flow. Then I can look for a publisher.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Archive

All images © Valery Rizzo

I am happy to say that 69 photographs I shot during my 2012 - 2013 residency at The Brooklyn Navy Yard have been accepted into The Brooklyn Navy Yard Archives. I will miss my time at The Yard and all the great people I got a chance to meet and work with everyday and am thankful for the opportunity to create this body of work. Cool to think this work could live on, beyond me, as part of this historical archive.

I have created a gallery/set on Flickr where you can see the entire body of work http://www.flickr.com/photos/valeryrizzo/sets/72157631660672169/

Photographs from this work have already been published as/in:
