Leica Camera and Tamarkin Camera present an Artist Talk with renowned photographer Phil Penman (recorded on Zoom, Thursday, March 24, 2002).

Renowned photographer Phil Penman gives an Artist Talk about street photography, along with Leica Product Specialist & Instructor John Kreidler and Tamarkin Camera’s Dan Tamarkin.

Phil’s work is evocative of Cartier-Bresson, Kertész, Brassai, and Fan Ho, among other greats. In this artist talk, we’ll learn about Phil’s process and style of shooting, and view his images. With a distinct style and “voice,” he captures modern images with a timeless quality in black and white.
