Street: Photographs by Phil Penman

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, Streetgives readers insider access into the eccentrics, icons, and stars on the streets of New York City.
The limited edition of Street includes a signed limited edition print and comes packaged in a luxurious cloth box.
Only 10 copies are available for purchase. 

“The book was largely financed by both myself and the Kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter was set up for people to be able to order the first edition and also to be able to support as a patron. The response was totally overwhelming, we met the goal in six days and were contacted by at least six press outlets wanting to do features on the book.
I cannot thank the people enough that supported me as the book would never have come to life without them.” (Phil Penman)
