Portraits of Power


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran. He was born on October 28, 1956, and became President on August 6, 2005. And Barack Obama, the President of the United States, photographed in Chicago, in 2006. He was born on August 4, 1961.
Photos by Platon.

The New Yorker struck gold with this one: a collection of portraits of world leaders, which graced its pages in the December 7, 2009 issue.


You can see it online here.


But it's better in hard copy. I recommend hitting your local library.
