This monograph brings together Frederick's landmark portrait photography, showcasing the images, intent and conversations that have made his work a defining chronicle of Black achievement.

For the past two decades, photographer and filmmaker Simon Frederick has examined Black life through portraiture, creating a body of work that highlights extraordinary range in heritage, accomplishment, and outlook.

This first monograph brings together photographs from four pivotal series -- Black is the New Black, They've Gotta Have Us, The Outsiders? and his Stephen Lawrence work -- including exclusive, never-before-published images and interview excerpts that broaden the scope of these influential projects.

Tracing the evolution of his method, this volume delivers a commanding visual statement and a compelling chorus of voices, affirming Frederick's place as a vital force in portrait photography today.

  • Combines his most famous, important and pivotal series with unseen images.
  • Includes a foreword by Ekow Eshun and an introduction by Frederick himself.
  • The monograph underscores Frederick's disciplined sense of framing and composition.
  • Features sitters such as Whoopi Goldberg, Naomi Campbell, and Laurence Fishburne.
  • Interviews offer entertaining and candid looks at personal histories, pressures and ambitions.
