Join us for an unforgettable day in New York City with legendary photographer Janette Beckman and esteemed photography curator Julie Grahame in Part 2 of our MPA NYC Special.

We spent the day inside Beckman’s iconic NYC studio with Julie Grahame, where together they dive deep into the intersection of music, photography, culture, and social protest.

Janette Beckman is a trailblazing British documentary and portrait photographer whose work spans London, New York, and Los Angeles. Renowned for capturing the spirit of punk, hip-hop, jazz, and countless cultural moments, her images have shaped the visual language of modern music.

Julie Grahame, Editor-in-Chief of aCurator Magazine, has dedicated her career to elevating powerful and culturally resonant photography. Her curatorial insight, paired with Beckman’s creative legacy, makes this conversation a rare and inspiring look at how photography documents, defines, and amplifies the soundtracks of social change.

From behind-the-scenes stories to creative philosophies, this episode offers a unique window into two influential voices in visual storytelling.
