Melissa O’Shaughnessy is no stranger to the street photography community, she is a member of UP Photographers, is featured in the street photography bible “Bystander: A History of Street Photography” with two wonderful photos, and most recently in the anthology “Women Street Photographers” edited by Gulnara Samoilova and published by Prestel. It was about time she published her first monograph, which Aperture thankfully took on in 2020 with “Perfect Strangers – New York City Street Photographs”.
