Interview with The Image, Deconstructed


A big thanks to Ross Taylor of The Image, Deconstructed, for being interested in my recent work on the New Hampshire presidential primary. TID just published a conversation about the project that we had over email over the past few weeks, talking about my thoughts behind the approach I've taken with the body of work. It was a great opportunity to solidify my own thoughts about the project.

Trump images published in The Globe and Mail


Canada's largest-circulation newspaper, The Globe and Mail, published a handful of my images of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a beautiful doubletruck over the weekend of December 12, 2015. The images can also be seen in the online version of the article, which includes one more of my pictures and a great illustration. The article is a great read, by the way: "Trump’s true believers: How he’s gone farther than Europe’s far right, and who got him there."

The pictures, by the way, are part of my ongoing project on the New Hampshire presidential primary, This is the worst party I've ever been to.

Thanks again to Rachel Wine for picking up my work.

Two photos in Time magazine’s Top 100 Photos of 2015


Two of my photos were included as part of Time magazine's Top 100 Photos of 2015. The photos, one of Hillary Clinton at a rally and the other of Ted Cruz smoking a cigar, are part of my ongoing project about the 2016 New Hampshire Presidential Primary campaigns, This is the worst party I've ever been to. I couldn't be more excited to have my photos included in this list, which also includes work from many of my photographic idols. My pictures are numbers 86 and 87, so you've got to do a bit of clicking to see mine. It's worth it, though; there's a lot of great work from around the world to take in.

Thanks again to Paul at Time for supporting my work; it means so much to have editors take an interest in and actively support a personal project. Two images of Carly Fiorina were previously printed in the magazine, as well.

Tearsheet: Dani Rodrik portraits in Handelszeitung


Two portraits of Harvard professor Dani Rodrik from a recent Chronicle of Higher Education assignment were recently published by the Swiss weekly newspaper Handelszeitung. Rodrik's story is particularly interesting; his father-in-law was found guilty of leading a coup in Turkey, but through Rodrik and his wife Pinar Dogan's years-long efforts to investigate the allegations and advocate on the former general's behalf, they were able to prove that he was not involved in the coup and got him exonerated.

Thanks to Dirk for getting in touch to license the photos.

Carly Fiorina images in Time Magazine


Thanks to Paul at Time for picking up two of my pictures of Carly Fiorina's campaign efforts in New Hampshire for this week's issue of Time. The pictures accompany an article by Philip Elliott called "Carly Fiorina's Convenient Truths."
