- Book Synopsis
- NYC Street Photography... It's the Joint is a collection of 10 of New York's most prolific street photographers today. Through their photography they tell stories from every corner of the city from the early '80s until the present day. NYC Street Photography captures the soul of the city, from grime to glitter. Stars, villains and everyone in between, people who together make New York what it is. Brian Nobili's and Ricky Powell's first book as authors with Dokument Press is also the first volume of their NYC Street Photography book series. This work also includes images by highly acclaimed street photographers Jamel Shabazz, Joe Conzo, Sue Kwon, Cheryl Dunn, Craig Wetherby, Akira Ruiz, Peter Pabon and SDJ. With the hardcover's overall concept created by the world renowned Bronx artist CES even this book's exterior is a work of art. 'NYC Street Photography is a prolific collection of authentic New York City images brought together by Brian Nobili and Ricky Powell. Their lifetime relationship with the neighborhoods of New York and the people within these communities enabled them to assemble 10 New York City street photographers that capture the rhythms, movements and landscape of one of the world's most complex urban environments. This collection of photographers reflects the city as only someone can that is truly a part of the surrounding culture and possibly even influencing the culture. This is a must have collection of unfiltered unapologetic imagery.' - Jay McMichael - Senior Photojournalist, CNN,Former Radio Television Correspondents Association Dinner Chairman. The concept of this book began when they participated in The Rickster's All-Star Classic Group show at MILK Studios to celebrate Ricky Powell's 50th birthday show in 2011. This show could have been a solo show for just Ricky, but instead he chose a group photography event showcasing the works of 1/3 living legends 1/3 'regular' photographers and 1/3 rookie phenomena. Showing those images together in one, single show at one of NYC's most impressive spaces generated attention of the who's who in entertainment as well as excitement worldwide. This book has a similar approach in that it presents a strong group of all-star photographers with all 5 of NYC Borough's represented through carefully curated pictures. What makes this book exciting is that it presents the work of photographers who are all recognised and respected within the genre in NYC itself and beyond. Coming from different ethnic backgrounds, religion, gender and age only enhances this humble presentation of NYC Street Photography and It's the Joint!
