Jamel Shabazz is a living legend in the world of street photography.

The Brooklyn born and raised photographer Jamel Shabazz has been capturing the diverse characters of New York City streets for over 40 years, particularly joyous scenes of black and brown people in neighborhoods like Flatbush, Brownsville, and Harlem.

The Bronx Museum of the Arts celebrates a major anniversary with plans for expansion that will include a restaurant, a boutique and enhanced public spaces.

New York City has always been a melting pot of different cultures, people, and tendencies. In the 1970s, New York was a vibrant place where all of the city’s humanity met in its streets. It was Brooklyn-born photographer Jamel Shabazz who extensively documented various aspects of life in the city, from youth culture to a wide range of social conditions. 

The street photography of Jamel Shabazz crystalized an important era of New York City and its boroughs.

The Brooklyn-born photographer, who has aimed his lens on Black life throughout New York City since the mid-seventies, is the subject of a career survey, “Jamel Shabazz: Eyes on the Street,” at the Bronx Museum.

Photography has always had a sense of nostalgia for Brooklyn-born Jamel Shabazz.
