Power explores the visual language of authority through striking portraits that reveal the complex personas behind global leadership. Platon’s photographic approach emphasizes stark contrasts and intense close-ups, drawing the viewer into the intimate yet charged expressions of his subjects.

The collection captures a range of political figures and influential personalities, highlighting the tension between public image and private character. The images resonate with themes of control, influence, and vulnerability, conveyed through carefully constructed compositions and controlled lighting.

Published in 2011 by Schirmer/Mosel Verlag, Power offers 192 pages of incisive portraiture that challenge notions of strength and authority in the modern world.
