A peek inside acclaimed photographer Jamel Shabazz’s Drama & Flava, a cross-generational masterpiece that combines ‘80s photo shoots backed by graffiti, boom boxes, Kangols, and Adidas to present day cutting edge fashion in Paris, New York, and Tokyo. This is Drama & Flava.

A Carnival of Mimics is a photo essay from acclaimed photographer and art critic Max Kozloff. Kozloff gradually became aware that commercial effigies and statues, dummies and mannequins had begun to infiltrate his urban subject matter. Underfoot or overhead, these “mimics” comprise a subpopulation that begs for notice and often does not get it. Somewhere in the realm between banal and mysterious, in his hands this animistic spectacle acquires eerie overtones and beautiful presentation.
