I was really excited to flip through this book when it got to the store. I love the dramatic effect that black and white photography gives to a photo, and photographer Mark Whiteley utilizes it perfectly in this collection of photographs. With great portraits of famous rappers (2 Wu Tang Clan members are in it, but I’ll let you find out which ones) and indie artists, to spontaneous candid shots of friends, this book is full of images that play on the emotions.
