About Sophie Bramly

The French photographer Sophie Bramly was just 21-years-old when she left her work and life in Paris to move to New York in 1981. Infatuated with the then-emerging Hip Hop culture, she spent the next several years shooting indelible photos of its most iconic personalities in the Bronx and in downtown Manhattan.

Almost 40 years later, two books devoted to that work were published: “1981 & +” and “Walk This Way.” Both titles are now out of print.

Sophie currently lives in Paris.
