TALK AT BOOK SIGNING
January 1, 2026
NEW YORK AT SVA JAN 29TH 2026

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with street photographer Phil Penman. In his new book Street Scenes, Penman pays homage to the world's vibrant metropolises—from the shimmering lights of New York to the enchanted alleyways of Paris and the dynamic streets of Tokyo. Each of his images is a window into the emotional moments and impressive facets of urban life, masterfully captured through his lens.

 

Phil Penman has a gift for transforming the everyday into the extraordinary—his photographs are far more than just visual works of art; they are narratives about the diversity, vibrant life, and complex existence of urban spaces. Penman's work is an invitation to see the complexity and beauty of urban landscapes with new eyes. The photographer shows us dynamic scenes that capture vibrant life, as well as quiet moments that inspire pause and reflect the soul of cities.

 

A Q&A will follow, as well as a book signing.
