Watch a 14-Minute Ricky Powell Profile That You Likely Missed

While we typically don’t post things that are months old, we’re making an exception for this Ricky Powell profile from last October. It seems to have slipped by under the radar of the internet at large. The legendary street photographer takes Chrome Industries on a tour of his neighborhood while giving insights into some of his iconic shots.

From Warhol and Basquiat to the Beastie Boys, Powell is responsible for some of the most famous photos to ever be captured. The way that he moves and interacts with his environment, and his eye for the interesting, share some distinct similarities with street skating.

If you have an interest in photography, you’ll definitely want to check this out if you missed it when it released.
