Bill Phelps' aesthetic is simply timeless. His work, focusing primarily around notions of travel, home and heritage seem to connect the ephemeral subjects with a sense of legacy and placement in our cultural history.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Phelps has built an impressive career despite having no formal art training, lending his talents to Italian Vogue, FrenchMarie Claire, The New York Times Magazine, Fortune and Interview, and picking up both an IPA Lucie Award and the Grand Prize of Portraits for the World Press. Phelps is also the co-designer, builder and owner of Cafe Moto in Williamsburgh, Brooklyn.
