Tearsheet: Adani image illustration for Forbes Daily Cover


Screenshot of Forbes.com - 21 Feb 2023
Gautam Adani is the chairman and founder of Adani Group, a multi-national port operations and development company based in Ahmedabad, India. Adani is photographed here in the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, on Wed., Oct. 26, 2022. According to business magazine lists, billionaire Adani is the richest person in India and is among the wealthiest people in the world.

It’s always so fun to see how pictures end up getting used. The team at Forbes just made a wonderful illustration using one of my photos of Asia’s (formerly) richest person Gautam Adani, which been getting a lot of play as the mogul has lost between $50 and $100 billion dollars over the last few weeks. The illustration accompanies one of their Daily Cover stories about the offshore companies run by Gautam Adani’s brother Vinod Adani. I love the concept and the design so much.

Tearsheet: New York Times Business section front – employee turnover affects production


In the Jan. 3, 2023, edition of the New York Times, a couple of my photos from a recent assignment  are the lede images on the Business section front. The story is about a 100+year-old factory that manufactures precise metal wire and pin pieces for the aerospace and medical industries, and the impact that high employee turnover has had on the factory’s production. 

Thanks to Jeanne and Crista for the call for the assignment and the editing. 

Tearsheet: The Hardest Part About Getting Older – portrait in the Wall Street Journal


I recently had the opportunity to photograph Sherry Mendelson and her husband to accompany a personal essay she wrote for the Wall Street Journal’s “Encore” section about retirement and aging. It’s a great piece that goes through her feelings on aging after recovering from knee replacement surgeries. 

On the left is how the image appeared in print (I think it’s the biggest I’ve had a photo printed in the WSJ!) in the Nov. 17, 2022, edition of the paper, and below you can see a screenshot of the online version, where you can read the article.

Thanks to Johnny for the call and to Sherry and Fred for spending a little time with me on a nice afternoon.

Tearsheet: Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson on the cover of The Pulteney Street Survey


I was very excited to learn that my image of Fidelity CEO Abby Johnson was licensed for the cover of the Summer 2022 issue of the The Pulteney Street Survey, the alumni magazine of Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The magazine was a special issue celebrating the bicentennial of the college. 

Tearsheet: Computer science pioneer Latanya Sweeney for Harvard Kennedy School magazine


I recently photographed computer science pioneer Latanya Sweeney for a profile of her and her research for Harvard Kennedy School Magazine’s Summer 2022 issue. 

The shoot involved some great brainstorming with the creative team to figure out a way to visualize Sweeney’s research (it’s always a difficult problem to photograph computer science), and we ended up creating the lead image by putting a number of Sweeney’s research images on screens in the Harvard Kennedy School’s AV control room. 

Tearsheet: Cover of Dürr Group corporate magazine


With German photographer Peter Jülich, I photographed Hiro Endo, an engineer in central Massachusetts, for the cover and an interior full page of the 2022 magazine of The Dürr Group’s corporate magazine. The shoot took a bit of logistical coordination to achieve the desired art direction of three people in two locations photographed by two photographers to have the same look (with different colors). I took the first photo and got a variety of color options (see below) and then worked with the art director and Peter to help him recreate the same lighting with different colors.

Tearsheet: Images of Kenneth Rogoff in Bilanz Magazin (Switzerland)


Three archive images from a shoot with Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff were used in a series of spreads in the April 2022 issue of Swiss magazine Bilanz. It’s always nice to find a new use for old pictures; in this case the portraits were photographed a few years earlier for Quartz (qz.com). 

Tearsheet: DESIGN EARTH for Nomad Magazine in Germany


Published this week in Germany, I have three spreads in issue 12 of Nomad Magazine, a beautifully-designed magazine covering art, architecture, and design. For the story, I photographed Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy of DESIGN EARTH, a speculative architectural research practice based in Cambridge, Mass. In the first image, they are seen with part of Trash Peaks (2017), an installation including a folding screen, a carpet, and ceramic figures, relating to waste management practices in Seoul, South Korea, presented at the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. is an Associate Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at MIT and Jazairy is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan and currently Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism. You can read the interview online (or in print if you’re in Europe and near a good newsstand!)

Two New York Times front pages!


It was such a wonderful and exciting surprise to find my photos on two New York Times front pages last month, a first in my career. Both images were below the fold, but it’s such an honor to have my work featured so prominently in the paper. The two issues were the Oct. 10, and Oct. 28, national editions featuring coverage of Boston’s mayor race and damage in New England after a powerful Nor’easter storm blew through the region.

Thanks to the editors and designers, as always!

Tearsheet: Worst Party images in Germany’s Philosophie Magazin


Three archive images my 2016/2017 political coverage were published in the May 2021 issue of Philosophie Magazin in Germany. It’s always a pleasure to find a new life for old pictures, especially with a Table of Contents double-truck!
