‘The shooting happened on the Coney Island boardwalk, in June 2011. I happened to be there with my wife, my camera, and two rolls of 120 film (24 shots total), and I made these photographs. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone shot, or stabbed, or mased. It was the first time I’d ever seen someone die.’

Miles Dixon is a 20-year-old freelance photographer living in New York City. He taught himself the basics of photography with a digital camera, and then started using various film formats. He currently works as a freelance photographer, and in TV and movie production. Five of these photographs were purchased by The New York Post for the breaking news story.
