Ricky Powell talk

December 23, 2009

The one and only Ricky Powell came to Brighton the other week to give a talk on his photography.

This amazing night was organised by long time Garage Studios collaborator Janeen and a big hats off to her for the very memorable night.

Ricky was around in New York from the mid 80s onwards, and showed us his images of the time, capturing the likes of Andy Warhol, Run DMC, Public Enemy, LL cool J, The Beastie Boys etc. In fact anyone who was anyone then was shot by Ricky, be it the kings of Hip Hop, Legends of the Art world or just New York street life.

It was an engaging and entertaining talk, with Ricky being somewhat of a character. If you were there you know what he’s like.

So here are a few shots from the night taken on a little point and shoot film camera.
