Malcolm Gladwell speaks at the Essex House

I am a huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell, I've listened to most of his podcasts and read a few books. He's just an incredible journalist and really delves into the topic and looks at the world from a different angle. I loved photographing him speaking the Essex House today. I would love to be the photographer at any conference that he speaks at. Checkout his podcast Revisionist History.

Stone Barns just had a new litter of Red Wattle Piglets and it was perfectly timed for my scheduled shoot with Maggie in the Apiary. All images shot with a pair of Canon 5D Mark IV's, one with a 100mm F2.8 macro and the other has the amazing lighting setup you see below with a Canon 24-105mm F4 lens.
