Platon's approach involves capturing the essence of power while provoking respectful debate, a method evident in his portraits featuring significant historical figures.
For the TIME Person of the Year photo shoot, Platon chose to incorporate an on-site American flag, recalling Trump's emotional flag kiss at CPAC, showcasing a connection.
Despite multiple past experiences with Trump, Platon recognized the unique significance of this shoot, marking it as the first major session post Trump's election victory.
Reflecting on their initial meeting 22 years earlier, Platon admired Trump's charisma and storytelling ability, noting he was already aware of how to present himself effectively.
