We've featured Platon before, what with the Eliot Spitzer photo, and the cool videos on his site. I love his simple lighting, and even more so his entire approach to portraiture.
If you have ever been nervous before a big shoot, you'll really appreciate his video interview about shooting Vladimir Putin for Time's Man of the Year cover. To see it, click on "2008," then the Putin thumbnail on the World Press Photo interviews page. Every time I hear Platon talk it makes me want to re-think my whole approach to shooting people.
Oh, and check out the cool little "loupe" thingie they are using over there, too...
Thanks much to Rob over at APE for the heads-up.
