Burning Man (2.2 million views), to
first-time mothers (1.3 million views), and
the most iconic pictures in American history (1.5 million views).
Gabriel is the co-author of
In the Limelight: The Visual Ecstasy of NYC Nightlife in the 90s, published by Prestel & Penguin Randomhouse, which explores the history of New York City nightlife during the 1990s through a collection of rare and never-before-seen pictures taken from inside the city’s most notorious mega-clubs. In his spare time, Gabriel is a contributing art writer to Artforum International Magazine and the Aperture Foundation.
