Matthew Pillsbury

At age 10, Pillsbury had his only film role in the movie Le Bon Plaisir alongside actress Catherine Deneuve, who played his mother.

"[5] Works in the City Stages series include the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Inflation of Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons from the American Museum of Natural History, Woody Allen and the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band at Cafe Carlyle, the Reading Room at the New York Public Library, Jazz at the Lincoln Center, the Broadway musical "Book of Mormon," a contortionist at Big Apple Circus, the Brooklyn Bridge Park and Jane's Carousel, New York Stock Exchange and the Tribute of Light at the World Trade Center as viewed from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

[8][9] The New York Times Magazine published one of Pillsbury's City Stages photos as part of their Manhattanhenge feature in July 2013.

[11] In the Oct 1, 2012 edition of Time Magazine, "High Line" photo, featuring a park in Manhattan constructed of abandoned train tracks, was highlighted as part of his exhibit at the Jackson Fine Art gallery.

[20] In April 2014, The New York Times Magazine first ran a photo essay of Pillsbury's work that centered around the hanami parties that occur during the week when the cherry blossoms are at peak bloom.

[22] A portfolio of Pillsbury's new images was featured in The New Yorker in September 2015, and showcased locations that include the High Line, the American Museum of Natural History, Astoria Park Pool and the Coney Island Boardwalk.

[23] He has also widened the project's focus to include locations outside of Manhattan, after a move to Brooklyn in January 2015 that inspired him to shoot urban life in the outer boroughs.
