Janette Beckman- The Breaks
Celebrated British photographer Janette Beckman has a career and body of work that most people could only ever dream of. Beginning her career during the rise of the punk scene in the 70's she comprehensively documented the movement whilst working for The Face and Melody Maker, then making the move to New York, where she became entangled in the rising movement of hip hop.

During her time in New York, she became the prominent underground Hip Hop photographer, shooting pioneering artists such as Africa Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Salt’n’Pepa, Run-DMC, Stetsasonic, Slick Rick, Boogie Down Productions, Eric B. and Rakim, EPMD, NWA, Ice-T, 2 Live Crew, Ultramagnetic MCs, Beastie Boys, Rick Rubin among many, many more. Those iconic images have finally been compiled and published in her book The Breaks: Stylin’ and Profilin’ 1982–1990, but in the meantime you can view some samples from the book to the right of this post.
