Brooklyn-based photographer Lexi Lambros has a definitive eye on contemporary New York. She captures her subjects – rappers, musicians and artists – with a minimum fuss, but always succeeds in bringing out some distinct and personal effect.

Browsing her shots, you get the feeling that you're seeing her subjects in their natural environment, caught finally and meaningfully in the glow of her lens. 

Lambros captured Paul Mawhinney (pictured), the man behind one of the world's largest record collections, for "The Record Holder" feature in Smith volume four. You can find your closest stockist here, buy volume four here, or subscribe here.
