A unique record of hip-hop history from the late 1990's, through to the present, Phillip Leeds captures an important moment in music and fashion through his Polaroid portraiture.
"The fashion world, of course, loves nothing more than something it cant get its hands on. Cue the recent books that elevate the Polaroid to art object, with celebrities as their subject. I feel like, right now, its almost like the last hurrah, said Phillip Leeds, a photographer whose book of star-studded Polaroids, 'Big Shots,' will be released in March by Rizzoli ($24.95, 304 pp.), with Rita Ora on the cover and entertainers, including Pharrell Williams, who wrote the introduction, inside."
