A self portrait with real estate mogul Ben Ashkenazi, with the reflection of the Plaza, which he owns…

Adam Pendleton, in his Brooklyn studio preparing for his New York exhibition “An Abstraction” at Pace Gallery.

A rare smile from my lovely wife Katie, who hate having her photo taken.

I took a day trip to Hudson to photograph Jeffrey Gibson for Galerie Magazine as he was preparing for the Venice Biennale where he was the first indigenous artist selected to represent the USA.

His studio is set in a gigantic former High school gym and him and his assistants were anxiously working on the pieces for the biennale, I felt pretty privileged to be allowed to be a fly on the wall.

I visited the lovely Tammy Nguyen at her studio in Connecticut for my friends at Lehmann Maupin gallery.

Another quick writer sit-in for Der Spiegel. This time I visited Leslie Jamison at her house in Greenpoint.

10 years ago, Leslie Dela Vega, one of the most important woman of my professional life,  sent me to photograph Robert for a website named Ozy which turned out to be a Ponzi scheme, where we produce great journalism that very very few people saw.
Robert and I always stayed in touch so with his new book coming up, I stopped by his new office, new office which was even smaller and more clustered with his books and beloved typewriters than the first one, for a few drinks and a few current portraits.

A freezing winter walk in the east village with renowned novelist Sigrid Nunez.

Fun fact, I got shat on by a pigeon a few seconds after shooting that photo.

An early morning with the lovely Teresita Fernàndez at her Brooklyn studio before the work was being shipped to London.
