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 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 have won him prestigious awards and exhibitions, and a distinction as one of the “52 Most Influential Street Photographers” alongside industry luminaries Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado.
