Platon shooting Snowden

I have been following the work of Platon for a while now. I really love his simplicity but powerful style of portraits. Last week I found this video of Platon photographing Edward Snowden. And I think it is really inspiring. The way they did everything in what looks like a hotel room. The lighting with just an single shoot through umbrella or the window light.

It took almost a year to arrange to interview and photograph Edward Snowden in Moscow, where he has sought asylum. Author James Bamford and photographer Platon reflect back on their encounters with the elusive whistleblower. Music By: Julia Kent - Venizelos Still haven't subscribed to WIRED on YouTube?
