Photographer Quil Lemons's first book, QUILADELPHIA, went on sale October 28 at Dover Street Market New York and on the DSMNY E-Shop.
The book gathers a decade of photographic work around Black masculinity, identity, vulnerability and intimacy. Lemons frames it as a tribute to his hometown of Philadelphia and to the people who shaped him. The title blends his own name with the city's.
The announcement credits idea.ltd alongside the photographer. For readers who know Lemons from fashion and editorial pages, this is a chance to see his work gathered in a single volume built around his own roots.
In person, the book is at Dover Street Market New York on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, so it pairs easily with a visit to the store's floors. Those who can't make it can order through the DSMNY E-Shop.
It is a timely pick for New Yorkers who follow contemporary portrait photography and want a book that treats personal history and community as its subject.
