WALKING THE PAVEMENT: MY NEW SOLO SHOW "STREET SCENES"Walking the Pavement: My New Solo Show "Street Scenes" at Leica Gallery New York
For over 25 years, the streets of New York have been my office, my playground, and my greatest teacher. I’ve spent countless hours pounding the pavement, waiting for that split second where light, shadow, and a human moment collide. That’s why I am incredibly proud to announce my latest solo exhibition, "Street Scenes," opening at the Leica Gallery New York in the Meatpacking District.
This show is a deeply personal one for me. It features a curated selection of work from my newest book, Street Scenes, alongside favorites from New York Street Diaries. While New York is the heartbeat of the collection—capturing everything from the grit of a 5th Avenue snowstorm to the quiet resilience of the morning commute—this exhibition also branches out. You’ll see moments I’ve chased in the neon-soaked alleys of Tokyo, the timeless corners of Paris, and beyond.
The Details
If you’re in the city, I’d love for you to stop by, see the prints in person, and say hello. There’s something about a physical print—especially the way the team at WhiteWall has produced these—that just can’t be replicated on a smartphone screen.

NEW YORK AT SVA JAN 29TH 2026
TALK AT BOOK SIGNINGMPS 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.
