In particular, his reportage following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center has featured on NBC\u2019s Today show, as well as on the BBC, History Channel, and Al Jazeera, and his images have been included in the 9\/11 Memorial and Museum\u2019s archives. His work covering the pandemic lockdown in New York City has been acquired by the U.S. Library of Congress, whose collection holds work by such Depression-era documentarians as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. Besides showing at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Penman\u2019s signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching workshops on photography for Leica Akademie. He was recently named among the \u201c52 Most Influential Street Photographers,\u201d alongside such legends as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebasti\u00e3o Salgado, Diane Arbus, and Garry Winogrand. Penman\u2019s books, &#8220;Street&#8221; published in 2019, and &#8220;New York Street Diaries&#8221; published in 2023, both became best-sellers and were featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/45345\/photographer-phil-penman-his-top-5-influences\/\">See Phil Penman&#8217;s Top 5 Influences here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/44941\/my-top-5-photographic-influences-revealed-on-the-crit-houses-myfive\/\">Enjoy my #MyFive here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Photographer Phil Penman shares many of the ins and outs of publishing photography books.
