Sweet Song of Harlem = Harlemin lempeä laulu
135: Parvs, 2021. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Finnish photographer Jaakko Heikkilä has spent two decades documenting Harlem, its people, and everyday life. In his photographs, this New York neighborhood, often known for its tough reputation, is shown in a more intimate and welcoming light. Over the years, Heikkilä has developed close relationships with many of his subjects, offering him a rare glimpse into their homes and personal lives. The result is an exceptional series of unflinching, authentic images paired with short lyrical texts, where the warmth of human life pulses through vivid colors, giving the photos a slightly surreal, almost fairy-tale quality. Heikkilä was awarded the State Prize for Photography in 2007.
