Alain Levitt

Alain Levitt is a photographer who documented New York’s nightlife and creative communities in the early 2000s. He moved to the city from Los Angeles in the late 1990s, initially working in bars before taking photographic assignments, including work alongside his sister, photographer Danielle Levitt.

His book NYC 2000–2005, published in 2024, brings together images of clubs, parties and the people around them. The photographs place musicians, actors and fashion figures within a wider social scene, recording the informal encounters that shaped downtown life.
