Documenting the 120,000 British men and women who live in New York City, Bell's photographic study features taxi drivers, cops, construction workers, burlesque dancers and drug dealers. These Brits play an important role in the city's cultural agenda: people featured include Zoe Heller, Stephen Daldry, Cecily Brown, Simon Schama, Sting and Kate Winslet. An Englishman is New York is an insight into the British sub-culture which forms an intrinsic part of everyday life in one of the most famous cities in the world.
