“I love the tabloids except for when I’m in ‘em.”
I ran over to Naples to do a story on Fox News anchor Brett Baier and his family. This was my first time working for People Magazine and I have to say its kind of a cool box to tick off my list.
Magazine
Town & Country - Aerin /
“Luxury is anything that feels special.”
Loved getting a chance to photograph Aerin Lauder at my favorite hotel (The Colony) for my favorite magazine. Check it out in print and online now!
Veranda Magazine - Quarantine Life at the Colony /
“Think pink. A better way of life.”
Maggie Wetenhall channeling Eloise at the Plaza
While the Wetenhall family is stuck quarantining at home like everyone else, their home just so happens to be a historic Palm Beach hotel. When the pandemic hit earlier this year, the Colony Hotel shuttered its doors in compliance with the nationwide shelter in place order and found themselves living by themselves in an empty 87 room luxury hotel. They asked me to come and bring a little bit of my A Social Life flavor to their family and the unprecedented situation they found themselves in. It was a fun experiment to try this style of photography on a family other than my own and it only worked because the Wetenhalls have a great sense of humor. Hopefully the series can bring a little bit of distraction to people during a very strange time. Check out the full story and all of the images on the Veranda Magazine website here

Avenue Magazine - Palm Beach Melee /
“If they made films in Palm Beach, actors and actresses would be much better dressed”
Avenue Magazine was recently relaunched under the leadership of new owner Charles Cohen. The 44 year old magazine took nearly a year hiatus as it underwent a full overhaul, including a brand new Editor-in-Chief. Having photographed several articles for Avenue in its previous incarnation, I was beyond flattered when the new EIC, Kristen Stewart Ward, asked if she could run a feature on me and my family and our instagram photo project, A.Social.Life, in her debut issue. Hopefully you’re already following our adventures online, but if not, then this is a good jumping on point to see the tortures I put my family through in the name of art and social media fame. You can find the full article online here
American Airlines /
“The only thing I like about air travel is it gives me time to read.”
If you’re flying American Airlines this summer, pick up a copy of their in flight magazine to find the story I photographed on my favorite summer resort. I like it. You will too.
Veranda Magazine, Slim Aarons /
“...the cognoscenti are calling him a modern day Slim Aarons ”
I often get compared to Slim Aarons (what a compliment!), but when a publication as esteemed as Veranda starts throwing it around I can’t help but be flattered…and honored…and grateful. Hopefully I can live up to the compliment. Check it out below.

Town & Country, Entertaining /
“Newport is a town that refuses to forget its history”
I teamed up with the fabulous Bettie Pardee of Private Newport again; this time to write a story for Town & Country. Even better, the story was about me. My favorite subject. Kidding. Kind of.... Anyway, much like with @A.Social.Life, my family and I put ourselves center stage to show off our lives, celebrate our history and talk about how we like to entertain. Click here to read the full story.
Town & Country, Diana Damrau /
“Of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive.”
I did a photo shoot with famed Opera star Diana Damrau for the the clothing store Escada and Town & Country online. It was a lot fun and I thought I'd share. Check out the full story here:

Muses & Visionaries, #14 /
“I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences”
BTS shot of me on set. Yay! I'm on a plane
We're back with another fashion spread for M&V magazine. I'm a few months behind in posting this, but I figured better late than never. This time we were at the private airfield in Boca Raton where the awesome Vida Jets let us shoot on some of their planes. Check out the full story here:

Muses & Visionaries, Lucky Issue 13 /
“Photographing attractive people who were doing attractive things in attractive places.”
Muses and Visionaries, Issue 13, pg. 82-83
I'm back for another fashion spread in Palm Beach with Muses & Visionaries magazine. This time the shoot was loosely inspired by Slim Aarons, one of my all time favorite photographers. Go check out his book, Poolside. So we tried to go for a 70's era Palm Beach look in the clothes and aesthetic and I tried my best to blend Slim's use of wide shots and overheads with the need to show off the clothes and style. It is a fashion shoot after all. These are the results. Find the magazine near you: http://magazinemv.com/about/where-to-purchase

The New York Times /
“I am spoiled, it’s true. I don’t even know how to use that thing in the kitchen with the burners.”
This past Sunday, July 19th The New York Times had a one page article in its Sunday style mag - T Magazine - about me. All about me! Ok, that's a lie. But it did prominently feature my photo series on kitchens in Newport, RI. The general gist of the photos (and I presume the article - I only looked at my pictures) is that the grand houses in Newport still contain kitchens that haven't been renovated for modern use. They are functional. They are used to cook food for house guests, not to show off. Its interesting. Trust me. Go check it out at: T Summer Entertainment Issueissuu.com or just look below (I make this too easy for you)
T Magazine, July 19th 2015
T Magazine, July 19th, pg. 23. Hey, 23 is my lucky number! What a coink-e-dink....
Below are the images on their own. They are just four from a much larger series that I did with the wonderful interior designer Ruthie Sommers (Check her out - she's awesome). Hopefully we will find somewhere to print the whole thing. I'll keep you posted.

Quest Magazine /
“Deep Summer is where laziness finds respectability”
The Dana Family at The Newport Shipyard
My cover story for Quest Magazine, on stands now. Newport has long been a focus of my photography and I'm glad to finally have some of my favorite shots published. In many ways, the town is the last surviving bastion of old money style and manners. Check it out online here:
Manhattan Magazine /
“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”
Check out my photos (with words by Sam Bolton) in this month's (December 2013) Manhattan Magazine. The piece focuses on some of the new guard in NYC's art world. If you're too lazy to go to your local newsstand, I suppose you may check out the online version (or just look at the jpegs I'm posting here…man i'm making this too easy). Fun fact for the reader, this story was originally shot for Barton G.'s Vault Magazine out of Miami, before the illustrious publication folded after just one issue. Their loss is Manhattan Magazine's gain I suppose….
Town & Country /
“Give a Shit”
Check out this month's Town & Country for my photo of John Kluge Jr., founder of Toilet Hackers and one of Town & Country's Top 50 Philanthropists. Definitely take the time to check out Toilet Hackers and the "epic shit" they do. It's an awesome cause.
Quote Magazine /
“There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.”
To all of my Dutch fans out there (don't all chime in at once now), check out this issue of Quote Magazine (by the lovely Hearst Corporation of The Netherlands) for my pictures of Pieter Taselaar and family. I have no idea what the article says, but I'm sure it's lovely...
New York Social Diary /
“Never speak disrespectful of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that.”
For the second year in a row, Sam Bolton and I have done a story for David Patrick Columbia's New York Social Diary showcasing some of Newport, Rhode Island's local elite (I hate that word). Check it out: http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/1909997
