"All Eyes On Me" is a collection of works by French photographer Mai Lucas (1968-). Lucas is a photographer who has crossed the boundaries of fashion, art, and documentary, focusing on the identity, sense of belonging, and creativity of subcultures among people living in cities. He is particularly known for his long-term commitment to marginalized communities, and has been highly praised for his gaze that looks at the dignity of each individual's existence rather than as an object of trend or consumption. This book compiles works taken in New York from 1990 to 2010, documenting the daily lives of African American and Latino youth in Harlem, East New York, Coney Island, and other locations. In an era when hip-hop culture was expanding into a global commercial phenomenon, young people on the periphery were creating new forms of self-expression through their unique fashion and behavior. The photographs, taken in familiar spaces such as schools, street corners, beaches, and clubs, convey the free energy of street culture and the pride of community before it was consumed as a trend. While this book connects to the lineage of New York street photography by artists like Jamel Shabazz, it is more than just a social record; it is a valuable archive of an era, meticulously capturing the beauty of the moments when young people tried to forge their own future through their own style.
