Leica photographer Phil Penman understands New York City as a “kind of living thing in itself.” For over two decades, he has kept his fingers on the pulse of the city as a portraitist of local personalities, fine art photographer documenting the cityscape, and a paparazzo, chasing the celebrity buzz. From the mundane to the sublime, the grime and glamour,…

I decided to express in this project my view of humans and their desires, the glass walls that we erect in our way when we are prevented from achieving our dreams and ambitions. Compromising on the mediocre, the norm, the ordinary instead of setting ourselves goals that we perceive as daydreams, with only a rare chance of fulfillment. Relinquishing before…

Minimalism, both as a philosophy of art and life, has deeply influenced my work. I draw inspiration from various objects, like the sea and the sky and from my emotional response to them.

In the…
