Stuart Eisenkraft - Portrait

My first New Yorker picture!

I'm laying in bed last night reading the table of contents for the May 17th New Yorker when I notice a story about Goldman
Sach's new headquarters.

Huh, I think to myself, I just shot that building for Bloomberg.

So I flip to the article, and guess whose image they used? Mine!

Washington Post Section Cover

A pill photo that I shot for Bloomberg was used by The Washington Post on Sunday as the cover of their business section.

Environmental Portraits

I've been shooting environmental portraits lately - real estate executives, among others.

I'm enjoying the portraiture process, including working with the setting, subject, lighting, etc.

Lawsuits, Gold, and Cabaret

My image ran on the NY Times City Room blog on January 20th with a story about the NYCLU suing the city for misbehavior by police stationed in New York City schools.



My image ran on the NY Times City Room blog on January 19th with a story about Rep. Anthony Weiner busting Cash 4 Gold for scamming customers.



The image below was shot on assignment for the following article in The New York Times on January 14th about a Jay Leonhart cabaret show.

Murder at the Peninsula Hotel

My picture ran in The New York Times on February 5th with a very sad story about a mother who allegedly poisoned her young son at the Peninsula Hotel in midtown.

Similar assignments sometimes turn into scrums with photographers aggressively jostling for position. But all the photographers on this assignment were very respectful. Everyone shot their frames in silence and then left quietly.

There is a photo of the boy's body bag, but I decided not to publish it here.

Help for Undocumented Haitians

My photo ran along with a story on January 29th about the NY Bar Association providing free legal aid on taking advantage of Obama's temporary protected status for undocumented Haitians. It was a challenging shoot as I wasn't allowed to show the faces of any undocumented people.
