The portraits taken by the French photographer between 1990 and 2010 capture the essence of hip-hop and the street culture of African-American and Hispanic New York.
All Eyes On Me is a long-term labor of love by Paris-based photographer Maï Lucas. Shot between 1990 and 2010, her pictures capture hip-hop and street culture of Afro-American and Hispanic New York from Coney Island and Jones Beach to Harlem and East New York. Those were the years in which young people of color turned against the pre-existing codes and invented new styles in order to express their identities and their pride artistically. It's as if they were out to supplant the established hip-hop phenomenon, which had become way too much about wealth and luxury, with a counter-culture of their own. Approaching her subjects with respect, empathy and love, Maï Lucas produces photographs of candid authenticity, grace and deep humanity. She brings out the beauty of a youth scene whose creativity finds expression in its everyday attire and family life as well as in its ecstatic dancing and partying. Lucas's protagonists shine in her portrayals.
