Jamal Shabazz's photo series "Back in the Days" documents the rise of 1980s hip hop culture and the type of influence it had on young inner city youth. His photo explores the daily lives of young New York City kids and how they would navigate the hustling bustling streets of Harlem before it would become plagued with different gangs, and the crack epidemic that would soon hit the streets in the following years. Through the use of his stellar composition, interesting and unique portraits, and subject matter all help transport you back in time to a 1980s New York, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite photo series by Him.

Lana Turner's, Harlem Socialite photographed by Dario Calmese, consists of a collection of hats, gloves, and other accessories that Lana Turner owns. Which Inspired this projects, Originally the project would consist of Ms. Turners various hats and gowns she owned and would wear for Sunday service turned into an exploration of about the "construction of identity, and the influence of surroundings and culture has on our self-confidence and self-creation". Overall I like the composition of each individual and the use of black and white over color helps the photos stand out more.
