Studio Visit: Platon’s Greece

The photographer Platon is known for his portraits of powerful leaders such as Vladimir Putin and world-changing figures such as the Little Rock Nine. But it was a much more personal project that brought us into his studio earlier this summer, where he showed us a body of work he’d created over the past twenty years during trips to his childhood home in the Greek Islands.

As part of the celebration of Photo Booth’s redesign this week, here is the first installment of a new video series of studio visits with photographers. Below is a behind-the-scenes look at Platon’s “Greece,” which will be exhibited for the first time at Colette, in Paris, this November.
