For the past two years, I've been photographing the data centers in northern Virginia, which has more of these buildings than anywhere else in the world.

The exhibit opens tomorrow, more information here: www.arch.virginia.edu/events/shado...

A few images of the xAI data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The data center has attracted controversy recently after it was discovered that they were operating far more gas turbines to provide power than they'd previously agreed to.

The light hasn't changed in 160 years. I spent a morning in Mathew Brady’s old DC studio—the same place where Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Ulysses S. Grant sat for portraits.

The print copy arrived yesterday and it's still an unparalleled feeling to hold a copy of Time Magazine in your hands, with a photo you made on the cover. 

New to posting here, happy to answer any questions about what goes into this sort of shoot.

Ajay Banga is the current President of the World Bank. When he walked into the room, we got right into it without much small talk--moving through locations, keeping him engaged always with an eye on the clock, knowing the shoot could just be over at any point one of his aides decides to step in.

Every cover shoot is different, a whirling amalgam of logistics, improvisation and creativity--hours of planning compressed into a tight ten minutes or so (most of the time). 1/3

Got totally obsessed with bonsai trees and spent two years photographing them. Self-published a book with said photos, titled In Training. Through a chance meeting, the Library of Congress acquired prints from the book.
