Jamel Shabazz – Frozen Moments in Time

Shabazz has created a multifaceted urban portrait, encompassing street life, community and fashion over five decades. In his photographs, he documents the pulsating life of New York, where the streets become a stage and a space of collectiveness. His photographs function as both a historical document of the city and its people and his personal visual diary.
