Leica photographer Phil Penman understands New York City as a “kind of living thing in itself.” For over two decades, he has kept his fingers on the pulse of the city as a portraitist of local personalities, fine art photographer documenting the cityscape, and a paparazzo, chasing the celebrity buzz. From the mundane to the sublime, the grime and glamour, Street gives readers insider access into the eccentrics, icons, and stars on the streets of New York City.
UK-born, NY-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the rapid flux of New York City’s streets for over 25 years. With clients ranging from People Magazine to The Daily Telegraph, he has photographed celebrated living legends, including Jennifer Lopez and Bill Gates, and captured historical moments such as the September 11th Terrorist Attacks. Penman’s distinctive style, versatility, and dedication to his craft has won him prestigious awards and exhibitions, including the Leica Fotografie international Picture Prize and distinction as one of the “52 Most Influential Street Photographers” alongside industry legends, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado
