"New York Street Diaries" is an impressively illustrated coffee table book for all fans of the Big Apple. Photographer Phil Penman photographs New York from a side rarely seen - calm and peaceful. Taken partly during the great snowstorm and partly during the Corona Lockdown, the photographs are contemporary witnesses to the pandemic restrictions that completely turned our hitherto familiar world upside down.
Born in Britain, he has been photographing the streets of New York for more than 20 years. Among other things, he is known for his photographs of famous personalities such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez or Bill Gates. When the greatest tragedy in the history of New York rocked the city on September 11, 2001, Phil Penman was on the spot and with his camera he took unique snapshots of the events.
Penman knows how to impressively capture the city at its most sensitive moments. He captures intimate moments in his black and white photographs, showing the people and streets of New York City far away from the hustle and bustle. The city life of the metropolis is brought so close that some of the photographs inevitably elicit a smile from the viewer. Penman literally catapults his reader into the scene with a refreshing immediacy and you feel like you are really there.
The large-format and lavishly designed Coffee Table Book showcases Phil Penman's best photographs and should not be missing from any New York lover's desk. As a gift or just for yourself, this coffee table book is so beautiful you almost won't want to put it away.
