Last year I spent a little time in Gurugram, a large city bordering Delhi. Gurugram (also known as Gurgaon) is a financial and tech hub and also connected to Delhi by metro, so residents make the daily commute either within the city or further afield by rickshaw, bus, car, bicycle, subway, and foot (and often a combination of a few of those options). You can see all methods of transportation in use in these images, a typical evening commute at HUDA City Centre in Gurugram.

As ride-sharing apps like Uber and Ola break into the Indian market, a crucial step has been integrating rickshaws and cash payments as vehicle and payment choices within the apps. From 2016 to 2017, auto rickshaw rides hailed by internet apps increased by 250% (an increase in more than 13 million rides in one year), and as Uber enters the market in 2018, the number of rides is expected to increase even more.

Pete Buttigieg’s rise for New York Magazine
August 9, 2019

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg greets people, takes selfies, and signs autographs, after speaking at a campaign event at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, on Fri., Apr. 5, 2019. The venue was filled to capacity about an hour before the candidate's arrival, so Buttigieg delivered an impromptu speech to those denied entry outside the museum before the official event. Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and was widely considered a long-shot candidate until his appearance in a CNN town hall in March 2019 which catapulted his campaign to prominence and substantial donations.
Genevieve Coursey, a campaign volunteer from South Windsor, Conn., is seen with "Pete 2020" shaved into the back of her hair, after Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg spoke at a campaign event at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, on Fri., Apr. 5, 2019. The venue was filled to capacity about an hour before the candidate's arrival, so Buttigieg delivered an impromptu speech to those denied entry outside the museum before the official event. Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and was widely considered a long-shot candidate until his appearance in a CNN town hall in March 2019 which catapulted his campaign to prominence and substantial donations. Coursey says of the haircut, "It was a crazy idea...Luckily it's a short name." She had a Sam Flynt of the West Main Barbershop in Vernon, Conn., shave the design the day before. Coursey says she started supporting Buttigieg about a month and a half earlier. ""He's such a different candidate. I kind of fell for him. I wanted to vote for a woman. I'm all in for Pete!"

On assignment with New York Magazine, I spent a couple days following South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg on his first major visit to New Hampshire just as his campaign reached national prominence following a CNN Town Hall with the candidate. With no access and only two scheduled events, the work was fast-paced and unpredictable. The end result was the cover story for the April 14-28, 2019, issue of the magazine, and accompanied Olivia Nuzzi's wonderful profile of Mayor Pete.

Thanks to Marvin Orellana and Jody Quon at New York for the wonderful assignment!

More images of Pete Buttigieg are available at my online archive.

Patient portraits in studio

I was commissioned by pharmaceutical company Foundation Medicine to produce a variety of imagery for their rebranding. The client needed studio portraits of patients, on-location portraits of employees, and lifestyle images of patients at home, all for a variety of uses by the brand. Weeks of planning resulted in a handful of shoots that wouldn't have happened without a phenomenal team helping behind the scenes.

For Bloomberg Businessweek, I spent a few days in Plano, Texas, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, photographing a profile of Toyota's autonomous vehicle and assisted driving initiatives at Toyota Connected (not far from the Toyota North America headquarters) and the Toyota Research Institute (not far from MIT). A big thanks to Jane Yeomans at the magazine for calling me and trusting me with such a big and challenging shoot, to Katy Rogers and Stewart House for assisting on different parts of the shoot (and BBQ recommendations in the Dallas area!), and to the folks at Toyota for giving us such great access for the story.
