My photograph of Jacqueline Novogratz graces the cover of the latest edition of Forbes magazine.  Here is the story.

Jacqueline Novogratz has created a non profit fund called Acumen.

Here are some outtakes from our shoot.

This is my 9th Forbes cover.  The do not come about that often and it’s always an honor.  My last one was Clay Christensen.

Here is a photograph I took of Jacqueline in 2004 for Fortune.

And here she is on Charlie Rose.

I am fortunate to have been enlisted by Spotco to photograph David Hyde Pierce and Colby Minifie for a new play at Manhattan Theater Club called Close Up Space. Previews begin December 1.

You can see more work I’ve done with Spotco here.

Here are some images I shot for the November issue of Outdoor Life magazine.  It was an intense day as we did 5 complicated shots in a fairly small studio.  Three of them are included in this post.

Luckily, Some Studio is in the heart of NYC’s flower district.  With the help of Stylist Ellen Silverstein, we procured bundles of corn stalks, bags of fall leaves, a small Japanese Maple and 350 pounds of sand.

Thanks to my crew Josh Freiwald and Richard Solinger for their hard work.  Also thanks to Ellen and her crew, August Goulet and Lisa Metropolis for making a corn field, beach and wind. And Thanks to our model, Kevin Witt, for wearing 4 layers of insulation on a very hot day, all day.

And many thanks to Justin Appenzeller and Jim Walsh of Outdoor Life for the art direction and the opportunity.

Last year I shot the West Side Rifle & Pistol Range in Manhattan for Forbes.

Last year Forbes hired me to photograph the founders of a website called Airbnb which facilitates short term apartment rentals.  I photographed them in a property listed on their site which they happened to be staying in for the week.  You can read the article here.

I shot the cover of the October 2011 issue of  The Atlantic.  We photographed a model, William Coleman, in my studio to illustrate a story about how the NCAA may be taking advantage of atheletes.  Hair, makeup, dirt and sweat by Nikki Wang

Thanks to Samantha Caruthers for the behind the scenes photos.

Last month I photographed John Paul DeVito for Forbes at Ground Zero.  The Freedom Tower is pictured behind him.  John Paul lead 13 coworkers from the 87th floor of One World Trade Center to safety just seconds before the collapse of building number Two.  In the article he writes about how the events that day changed his life.

You can read the full account of his experience that morning on the New York Times, dated 9/16/01

Olgilvy has produced another ad from our Huggies Slip-on shoot.

If your flying American, check your seat back pocket for the September 1 issue of American Way Magazine for my photos of Chevy Chase.

Remarkably there are 4 different covers!

Thanks to Brynwood Golf & Country Club for letting us shoot there.  They totally hooked us up with everything we needed, including thousands of golf balls.

Anupam Mittal is an internet entrepreneur who started Shaadi.com, “the worlds largest matrimonial service”.  I photographed him in June for JWM, a magazine for the JW Marriott hotel chain.

Here is a picture I shot last week for Barron’s of Tom Kolefas of TIAA-CREF.  It’s always nice to shoot on a rooftop in NYC but unfortunately often hard to gain access.  I shot Lisa Black on this rooftop 8 years ago.

I like this shot that my assistant fired off to test our tether.  It shows me and the publicist on the roof.  Just needs a chopper in the background.

Last October I photographed Murray Nossel for Forbes.  Murray, an oscar nominated director, teaches people how to tell stories through Narativ.  He also  does an amazing two man show with his friend Paul Browde called Two Men Talking.  We had a great shoot.  Thanks to Ramscale for letting us shoot there.

I spent 2 days on the floor of B2 Studios in Sydney.

Creative Directors David Metcalf and Chris Turner of Ogilvy, Chicago

I recently shot a Huggies campaign with Ogilvy & Mather to launch a new product called Little Mover’s Slip-On Diapers.  It was just featured in the New York Times in last Friday’s business section.  They talk about the product and the ad campaign, specifically the TV spot, directed by Bruce Hurwit.  At the end of the article they interview Ogilvy’s Chris Turner, the Creative Director focusing on the visuals.  I had the pleasure of working with him along with his partner Creative Director David Metcalf who wrote the brilliant copy.

My son Wyatt is a total rolling pin.

I also shot the diaper package.

There should be a couple more ads produced from our shoot soon…

At the end of June I shot a The Chivas Brotherhood party for Urban Daddy.  I don’t usually shoot events but this was interesting.  They wanted someone to shoot portraits during the event.  They had Hazel Elder build a really cool set.  Once the party started, people began to come by to have their photos taken.  Then we projected them live, as we were shooting.  They also went up on Urban Daddy’s Facebook page as we were shooting.  It was intense.  I shouted for 3 hours.

I recently photographed the CA Technologies Sustainability Executive Summary.  Thanks to Addison for the opportunity.  They previously hired me to shoot a campaign for the Institute of Management accountants.

A funny story: while talking to Leo Koenig during the shoot, we discovered that he moved into my very first NYC apartment, in Williamsburg Brooklyn, immediately after I moved out, in 1996.  It’s a pretty incredible coincidence.
