Christian Latchman Preparing for the MET Gala

In May 2025, I documented Christian Latchman, the face of this year’s MET Gala, as he prepared for the evening inside The Chelsea Hotel in New York City. I had worked with Christian before, and he invited me to capture the moments leading up to his big night. The day was rainy and quiet, but inside the room there was warmth and energy. Christian and his family brought a sense of Atlanta with them that made the space feel alive.
