Vivian Schiller NPR CEO Shoot


Vivian Schiller CEO National Public Radio

Vivian Schiller CEO National Public Radio

Vivian Schiller made headlines last fall when it was announced she would be leaving her post at NYTimes.com — where she’d led the team responsible for the Times‘ much-admired Web overhaul — to become president and CEO of NPR.  I am thrilled to have met her. I could live without television but could not without NPR. WNYC has interesting intelligent programing that i find so interesting that if i miss it during the day I will stream it at night. We had a nice interaction and I look forward to working with her again.

Barron Hilton for Hilton Hotels

William Barron Hilton co-chair Hilton Hotels. I shot this photo at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Park Ave. I had shot Molly Ringwald there a number of years ago.

The presidential suite is indeed presidential since it is where POTUS actually stays when in town.

Apparently Mr Hilton, Paris Hiltons' Grandfather is giving his fortune to charity. Hilton's fortune will go to his family's foundation, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, which works to alleviate the suffering of the world's most disadvantaged, with an emphasis on children and support for the work of Roman Catholic nuns. Grants go to causes such as stopping trachoma, the world's leading cause of preventable blindness in Africa; helping homeless families in the U.S.; and providing clean water in Mexico.

More Book Cover Photography

I got hired by the senior designer at Knopf Delacorte Dell Books to shoot a book cover for GLOVES OFF by Susan McBride. Fun concept of a debutante taking off her gloves. I received an education in formalwear at the famous retailer Klienfeld Manhattan. We went to Klienfelds, which carries the largest selection of couture wedding dresses, designer exclusives, eveningwear. I found THE glove shop just 2 blocks from the studio, LaCrasia.com The guy who runs the place I see all the time walking his dog. For some reason he and my dog Luke are mortal enemies.
