"Today, not only is he one of the country's most in-demand photographers but he is also an increasingly popular social media personality in his own right- appearing in several magazine covers himself, and working with brands like Calvin Klein, Samsung, Estee Lauder, Loewe, Gucci, Balenciaga, Maison Margiela, Fendi and Louis Vuitton."
