NEWSSTANDS
2012 - 2019
"Photographer Trevor Traynor’s global odyssey documenting the newsstands of the world is a remarkable record of newsprint as a construction medium". - Edwin HeathCote, FT Weekend.
On 7/17/12 I shot my 1st newsstand near 6th Ave & 46th St. Drawn in by the vibrant colors & organized product placement, this series began its journey providing an instant time stamp via magazine covers and headlines.
All photographs were shot on the iPhone 4s - 11promax.
Cities included
New York, Jersey City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Barcelona, Lima, Cusco, Punta Arenas, Venice, Milan, Rome, Naples, Pozzuoli, Jerusalem, Dar Es Salaam, Tokyo, Kamakura, Cairo, Mexico City, Marrakesh.

The collection sold out 10/02/22.
All pre-sales included a limited edition newsprint poster which revealed 5 different versions upon unfolding.
The launch was celebrated by a pop-up IRL event @HotShotMuffler in Los Angeles and included a physical Newsstand installation surrounded by ten 43" digital screens displaying the entire collection.
