Richard Aloisio (Art Director)

This portrait session coincides with launch of MITT magazine issue 6, which features a former art director of The New York Times, Richard Aloisio, as we celebrate his wonderful Instagram selfies in the illustrated form. You can pick-up a copy at www.meninthistown.com to view his feature but in the meantime, have a listen to our conversation which took place at The New York Times building, during his last days at the job he held for 35 years. We discuss his expansive career as a graphic designer; from his early days at Penthouse magazine to his last post at The Times. His infatuation with colourful clothing that brought him Instagram fame, plus his relationship with the iconic street style photographer, and personal hero of mine, Bill Cunningham. This is one of my favourite portrait sessions to date, so I hope you enjoy!
