For nearly forty years, Michael Jang was a successful commercial photographer in San Francisco while secretly amassing a vast archive of spontaneous, candid street photography. “Who Is Michael Jang?” is his first major monograph, revealing a hilarious and eccentric time capsule of American life in 1970s and 80s California. The book includes iconic series such as “The Jangs” (his own family), “Beverly Hilton” (celebrity parties), and “Punks & Poets.” Influenced by Friedlander and Winogrand, Jang’s work is characterized by its irreverent wit and instinctual timing. This first edition of 3,000 copies, featuring a cloth-bound cover and a sewn-in insert, has quickly become a modern cult classic in the photobook world.
