Platon(b.1968, London) is a British portrait photographer based in New York. He is a staff photographer at The New Yorker and his work appears regularly in the Time magazine.
He is perhaps most known in the photojournalism community for his 2007 photo of Russian president Vladimir Putin, which was awarded the 2008 World Press Photo Portrait prize. You can see Platon talk about the shoot here.
Platon’s most recent book is Power: Portraits of World Leaders, which is also available for the iPad.
