Need to know: The evidence - The photographers' agent's desk
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

"Sean, my Jack Russell (1) comes into the office with me every day. He torments my cats so much that, unfortunately, they are leaving so I've got their vaccination papers (2) to give to their new owner. I live by Post-its. We must get through about 200 a day. Mario Sorrenti has just done a shoot in Colorado so I was just going through the laser copies (3) - this picture is my favourite. I have four calculators (4), it's a bit of an in-joke in the office. I usually use two when I'm calculating for shoots in foreign currencies. I have two address books (5), one personal and one for work. I've had lots of computer organisers but they always end up falling on the floor or crashing. One of our other photographers, Ellen von Unwerth, recently published a book (6) and I have the catalogue (7) from a show Mario Sorrenti had in Paris. The photos (8) are of my daughter Marley and my fiance. I have one cappuccino (9) a day which I end up feeling guilty about, it's kind of the same with what I call my pretend bottle of water (10), it's been there for weeks ... but I'm very healthy, really."
