Johnny Palisay

Johnny is currently a HS art teacher & a New York-based photographer
with over 30 years experience as an art director in industry.

A while back on a trip to Venice, he picked up his camera
and began shooting again. After a while, having exhausted his share
of canals, gondolas, and architecture, he decided to photograph
the people of Venice instead.

He realized that his tourist status granted him permission to walk up
to total strangers and simply ask. He began using the same approach
in NYC & 4minuteportraits was launched.
