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, and the ghostly streets of New York during the Covid-19 pandemic. Penman's distinctive style, versatility, and dedication to his craft have won him prestigious awards and exhibitions, including a distinction as one of the "52 Most Influential Street Photographers" alongside industry legends Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado.
His debut book “STREET” launched as the Number 1 new release on Amazon for Street Photography, and has since become a best seller and featured at MOMA in New York. We collaborated on the design of his second book NewYork Street Diaries published by Teneues in September 2023.
