Phil Penman: From Celebrity Photography to the Street

Phil Penman joins How I See: The Leica Podcast for a candid conversation about New York, photography, and the path that led him to street work.
He looks back on his early ambition to live in New York, the years he spent in celebrity photography, and the moment he knew he had to change direction. Phil also discusses black-and-white photography, darkroom roots, book-making, and how he built a career around the work he truly wanted to make.
A thoughtful episode about persistence, instinct, and finding creative freedom.
