The shoot was for the New York Times Business Day article about the company developing a new brand for China.

The assignment was pretty strait-forward in that I was simply tasked to take a portrait of Mr Freda in the lobby which was decorated like the late Estée Lauder home. ie old school wealth.

As with any portrait of a high-profile subject, my time was limited so I arrived early to figure out a handful portrait setups.

As I looked north from the 47th floor over Central Park, one building dominated the foreground, the Sherry Netherland Hotel. I even mentioned to the publicist how awesome it would be to have a balcony iin that building. It wasnt 24 hours later that I got a call to photograph a $95 million listing within that very building. Crazy coincidence. G0000cRnZNwrff
