Canales began taking these photographs in 2003, when she was working as a waitress in a restaurant in the financial district. She would often see people eating lunch alone, and she was struck by their expressions and body language.

Canales began to ask people if she could take their portrait, and she was surprised by how many people said yes. She found that people were often happy to share their stories with her, and she learned a lot about the different lives that people lead in New York City.

The photographs in Lunch Portraits are all taken during the lunch hour, and they capture a wide range of people from all walks of life. There are businesspeople, students, artists, construction workers, and more. Each photograph is a unique and personal glimpse into the life of the person depicted.

Lunch Portraits is a beautiful and moving book that celebrates the diversity and spirit of New York City. Canales' photographs are a testament to the power of photography to capture the human experience.
