“Her latest book, New York New York, focuses on youth in America’s cultural epicenter, documenting the wild nights and carefree days of the city’s young people in Tomanova’s vivid, spontaneous style.” - AnOther Magazine

Tomanova's first book Young American (2019), featuring a foreword by acclaimed photographer Ryan McGinley, sold out shortly after its publication. Art and fashion magazines overflowed with enthusiasm.

Tomanova now presents, with art historian Thomas Beachdel, her second volume on youth in New York City. Deftly entwining portraiture and landscape, the photographer expands and recontextualizes the significance and meaning of each.

Tomanova shows us a powerful and vital panorama of identities of people and place, and a compelling future free of binary gender models and outmoded definitions of beauty.
