Talk

MPS Digital Photography in junction with APA present a talk with street photographer Phil Penman. In his street images, Penman captures New York’s grittiness, its quirks and charm, tragedy and humor—each image acting as a snow globe that represents the city.

In New York City, where the sidewalks cooperate with photographers by being 18% grey, street photography is a popular topic. But street photography is not as simple as it looks. It requires a particular kind photographic athlete with a visual quickness that we all strive for but few truly master. Phil Penman is one of those few. 

In this conversation with faculty member Tom Ashe, Penman will discuss his work and his new book New York Street Diaries 2020-2023. A Q&A will follow, as well as a book signing.
