Artist Portraits Compiled by Stillz Over a Six-Year Period, with Bad Bunny as Subject

In an exciting development for fans of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, copies of the "Bad Bunny" photobook by photographer Stillz have been placed in various leave-a-book take-a-book public libraries across Puerto Rico. This limited or recent release offers a unique glimpse into the life and career of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny.

The photobook, titled "Bad Bunny" by Stillz, contains 84 portraits of the artist, captured over several years at airports, after parties, and set calls. The portraits provide a compelling look into Bad Bunny as both an artist and as a person, arranged year by year to showcase the various phases of his career.

The relationship between Bad Bunny and Stillz began when the photographer moved from Miami to New York and was invited to join Bad Bunny on tour. Since then, they have shared numerous experiences, with Stillz directing at least 23 music videos for Bad Bunny, as well as projects for Rosalía, Rauw Alejandro, and Omar Apollo.

The cover of the photobook features a photograph of Benito in San Juan with a cup midair, taken minutes before his first show at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The book includes photographs that run through the latest album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos."

For those interested in obtaining the photobook outside of Puerto Rico, the best approach is to monitor official Bad Bunny and Stillz social media or merchandise outlets for announcements of online sales. Additionally, checking major international platforms known for rare or limited edition merchandise, such as eBay, Discogs, or specialized book retailers, might yield results. Fan groups or resellers may also offer the photobook internationally.

Currently, no confirmed direct purchase options outside Puerto Rico have been announced, but fans are hopeful that the photobook "may end up selling online." In the meantime, a "Bad Bunny" pop-up shop can be found inside Plaza Las Américas in San Juan, where the photobook is available for purchase during Bad Bunny's residency shows at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

Stillz, the author of the photobook, is a renowned photographer who has made a significant impact in the music industry. His first feature film, "Barrio Triste," premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was later shown in Toronto and New York. His work with Bad Bunny has been instrumental in shaping the artist's visual identity and has contributed to the success of his career.

The "Bad Bunny" photobook is a must-have for any fan of the artist, offering a rare and intimate look into his life and career. For those fortunate enough to be in Puerto Rico, the book is readily available in public libraries and the pop-up shop at Plaza Las Américas. For those outside Puerto Rico, patience and persistence may be rewarded as more purchase options become available.
