World-class photography has been a trademark of Forbes for more than 100 years. Whether it’s a definitive portrait of a billionaire entrepreneur on the cover of our print magazine or a whether it’s an instantly iconic Forbes magazine cover featuring Project Black’s Mellody Hobson or capturing the creative chaos of the top Internet creators, world-class photography brings Forbes stories to life. Ranging from a moody portrait of a struggling solar entrepreneur by Guerin Black to a playful shot of a crime-fighting cowboy by Mary Beth Koeth, these images put a human face on our stories. The best among them write their own stories in color and light.
From travel and scheduling to make-up, lighting, retouching and styling, creating these pictures is an enormous undertaking under the overall Creative Direction of Alicia Hallett-Chan and Photo Director, Robyn Selman. Along with a roster of some the best photographers in the business they put in the long hours required to create these unique shots – and it shows.
