The archetypal modern city, New York, is still as big, bold and beautiful as ever. The buildings are soaring, look-at-me towers; crowds are boisterous and diverse; zillions of restaurants and shops cater for every conceivable taste; museums and performance spaces offer everything from masterworks to avant-garde creations. Around almost any corner is a mingling of energy; congruous and clashing at the same time. The result is messy, beautiful, and very New York.

Platon, Jake Chessum; names every A-lister demands and uniquely available to guide you through their studios, their work and their phenomenal talents.
