Nathan Ellis Perkel Photographs Captain Sully For Newsweek

Feb 17, 2009

Nathan Ellis Perkel was fortunate enough to be chosen by James Price at Newsweek to photograph Captain Chesley Sullenberger, a pilot who safely landed a crippled passenger jet into the Hudson River in NYC.

"It was an honor meeting a hero. During our outdoor shoot, a group of high-school students chanted Sully!, during the shot, but Sully remained composed, courteously smiling and offering a head-nod to his fans. It was quite an amazing occasion.' --Nathan Ellis Perkel


The image is running in this weeks edition of Newsweek, as well
as an outtake from the shoot under the "Commissions" section, on Nathan's website (click on link below).
