Steve Lazarides was Banksy's photographer, gallerist, and agent from 1997 to 2008. During this pivotal period, he documented Banksy's rise from underground graffiti artist to global phenomenon.
His unique access and perspective during these formative years resulted in an unparalleled photographic archive, capturing not just the art but the context, process, and culture surrounding Banksy's work. The "Banksy Captured" series represents the most comprehensive visual documentation of this transformative period in street art history.
