Street photography is all around us. It’s the genre most people start with when they get a camera and a lens but everyone’s approach is different. Join photographers Phil Penman and Amy Touchette as they walk you through their methods
📷 Photographer Phil Penman-
Phil Penman is a photographer who captures that magic daily. One of, if not the, most prominent street photographers working today, Phil, has been compared to Cartier-Bresson, and he will join us to discuss his work and offer lessons on how to improve yours.
In his presentation, Phil will touch on the business of street photography, doing prints, publishing a book, the beauty of creating an image vs Artificial Intelligence, becoming an overnight success after 30 years, and defining your own style.
📷 Photographer Amy Touchette-
Amy Touchette is a photographer based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, who explores themes of social connectedness through street portraiture. She was trained at the International Center of Photography, where she now teaches, and her photographs have exhibited and been published internationally, including at the MoMA-Moscow and in The New York Times and Artsy. One of 100 photographers profiled in the book Women Street Photographers (Prestel, 2021), BuzzFeed called her a “master of street photography in the busiest of concrete jungles, New York City.” Touchette’s second monograph, Personal Ties: Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn (Schilt Publishing, 2022), was short-listed for the Lucie Photo Book Award and garnered a Critical Mass 2021 Top 50. Photographs from the book have exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, in “In Praise of Shadow Boxers, Dissonance & Dissidents,” a tribute to Greg Tate at Lincoln Center, in Photoville’s “The Brooklyn Connection” curated by Jamel Shabazz, and elsewhere. Her first monograph, Shoot the Arrow: A Portrait of The World Famous *BOB*, (Un-Gyve Press, 2013) was featured in various media, including la repubblica, Esquire Magazine, and Vogue Italia. She’s represented by Clamp in NYC and Little Big Galerie in Paris, France.
