Platon's Portraits of Power

In September 2009, Platon set up shop in the General Assembly at the UN and set about photographing the world leaders gathered there for The New Yorker, where he is staff photographer. The magazine has a great collection of the shots, each accompanied by an audio clip of Platon describing some of the behind-the-scenes in getting his shot.
