He spent a lot of time telling the story of what it took to make this image. He waited in the hotel for five days. Then he got the call to go to the house. He waited outside in the snow for 2 hours while some guards went through his gear. Then waited 8 hours in some office in Putin's house. This whole time, he never knew if Putin would actually agree to be photographed. Platon said that he is is the only one (that he knows of) that has photographed Putin in a formal sitting. There are other photographs of him in a photo journalistic setting, but not a formal sitting like this. Thanks Ashley. He spent a lot of time telling the story of what it took to make this image.
