The most iconic image in the Annenberg Space for Photograph’s excellent “Contact High: A Visual History of Hip-Hop” is by far the crown-topped portrait of the Notorious B.I.G. from the late rapper’s “King of New York” photo shoot. This weekend, you’ll have the chance to recreate that same portrait with the exact prop and photographer responsible for the image.
On June 1 and 2, you can wear the same crown that Biggie used, while photographer Barron Claiborne—who shot the original image in 1997—will snap your photo as you’re seated in a red velvet throne.
The portrait sessions are totally free, though they’re available on a first-come, first-served basis, with time slots on both June 1 (11am–1pm, 3–5pm) and June 2 (11am–1pm, 3–5pm).
