Ace Hotel New York

Willem Verbeeck’s Perfect New York Day

The critic Susan Sontag once wrote that photography makes the world feel closer than it is. This rings especially true in the work of Willem Verbeeck, whose photos manage to capture and distill the magic of his travels near and far. But it’s not just the world that feels more accessible as a result — it’s also photography itself, thanks to his behind-the-scenes YouTube content.
