Greco-British photographer Platon has become one of the most sought-after political portraitists in New York. His new book features the political leaders of 130 countries of the UN: elected presidents and prime ministers next to dictators and revolutionaries. Platon's specific portraiture style enables us to compare faces, to notice the traces of exercising and the anxiety of preserving power.
