KEN NAHOUM


THE ICONIC
HIP HOP ARCHIVE
"THE FLOWER"
- pinned by President Ronald Reagan

Brigadier General Chuck Yeager. F-16 Tiger Shark. Edwards Air Force Base.
The first man to break the sound barrier, photographed at full throttle, a print that hung in President Ronald Reagan's Oval Office.


Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Ken Nahoum picked up his first camera in 1988 and never put it down. What followed was three decades of rare access to Death Row Records at its height, to the world's most iconic supermodels, to Hollywood's biggest names and to the stages and studios most photographers never see.
His work has taken him from Edwards Air Force Base to the bullrings of Ecuador, from the streets of Brooklyn to the museums of Tuscany. Along the way, his prints have hung in the Oval Office of President Ronald Reagan, been exhibited at the San Gimignano Museum in Italy, and appeared on the cover of Vibe magazine.
Three decades. Hundreds of icons.
