The brief was to head off the challenge from the insurgent titles Blender and Maxim. What sets Rolling Stone apart is the commitment to illustration and photography. So, working out of New York City, I hired Kory Kennedy, Devin Pedzwater and Matthew Ball to help commission the world’s best. I directed Albert Watson, Martin Schoeller, Ruven Afanador, and more. We shot Springsteen, Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Beyonce, and more.
