David Bailey and Bruce Weber shoot images of Harlem life on a camera phone
Show all 11Two photographic heavyweights have teamed up on an unusual assignment – spending the day in Harlem, shooting images with a camera phone.
In a break from their usual celebrity subject matter, Brit David Bailey and American Bruce Weber took this collection of pictures on a Nokia Lumia 1020 over the course of one day in the New York City neighbourhood.
The pair visited a host of local businesses, including the Apollo Theatre, Westside Boxing Gym and Harlem Shake Restaurant.
Mr Weber said of the project: "I don’t do digital and this is the first time I have really gone out in the world and done a digital sitting."
The photos are currently being exhibited at the Nicholls & Clarke Building in Shoreditch, East London.
The exhibition, entitled "Weber X Bailey by Nokia Lumia 1020" will run until 21 September and is free to members of the public.
