Back in 2017, Phillip Leeds dropped the critically acclaimed photography book BIG SHOTS! that captured the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Jay-Z, Pharrell, David Byrne, A$AP Rocky, Questlove, Andre Leon Talley, Justin Timberlake and more.
Now he’s back with BIG SHOTS!! Volume Two: More Shots From the Worlds of Music, Fashion and Beyond. This second volume features SZA on the cover and a foreword from Pharrell with more than 500 Polaroid portraits inside. Some of those portraits include KAWS, Dave Grohl, George Clinton, James Lipton, Ari Melber, Megan Thee Stallion, John David Washington and a slew of other heavyweights in music, fashion, film and media.
“I met Phillip way back, in ’95 or ’96, and he was always the guy who would say, ‘Let’s take a picture,'” Pharrell said of Phillip Leeds in BIG SHOTS! Volume 1.
Born and raised in New York City, Leeds is a well known vet within the music and fashion scene, but only began publishing his work in 2017 and used the Polaroid Big Shot camera exclusively for these photos. In association with Blurring Books, the photographer is hosting a launch party and exhibit on Friday, Aug. 23 in Los Angeles. BIG SHOTS!! Volume Two is set to drop Tuesday, Aug. 27.
We were given exclusive access to share 10 never-before-seen photos of some of your favorite rappers, singers and DJs like Tyler, the Creator, Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys, Sister Nancy, No Malice, D-Nice, BIA, RZA, Roxanne Shanté and Redman.
