A New York photographer is aiming his lens directly at Stamford police officers.

During his stay in the city a few weeks ago, Nolan Regan approached officers and highlighted them as his subjects for a mini photo shoot.

Regan is known for photographing law enforcement.

Officers say at first, they were skeptical until they saw the final product.

"At first I was a little nervous but he kind of just directed us which made us feel comfortable, like alright this guy knows what he's doing," says Officer Jairo Bules.

When I saw the pictures, they were very professional, I liked it. And I do commend his work he's doing a great job with what he's doing," says Sgt. Rafael Barquero.
