The next in a series of events dedicated to the late photographer will take place at the Apple Williamsburg store, VA, on Wednesday, followed by a photo walk inspired by his work.

 
Filmmaker Mark Bozek, New York editor Wendy Goodman and photographer Max Vadukul will lead a free photo walk inspired by the legendary Bill Cunningham on Wednesday evening. The event will begin at the Apple store with a screening of a clip from Bozek’s upcoming documentary, The Times of Bill Cunningham.
 
The event is one of a series led by Bozek and Apple senior vice president of retail Angela Ahrendts, with the first taking place on September 15. In addition to the Brooklyn event, Bozek will also hold panels on Cunningham’s life and work at Apple store in London, Paris, San Francisco, Tokyo and Singapore.

Other guests and speakers at the events include photographer David Montgomery, designer Zandra Rhodes and Vogue editor André Leon Talley. Attendees will get a sneak peak of Bozek’s documentary on Cunningham, which is set to premiere in November.
 
Cunningham passed away in 2016 at the age of 87. His life had already been documented in the 2010 documentary Bill Cunningham New York. Shortly after his passing, New York City temporarily named the corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue after him.
