On the cover
Musician Dontae Winslow was photographed for our cover by Los Angeles-based photographer Elena Dorfman. Shooting at Fever Recording Studios in North Hollywood, Dorfman says, "Dontae was a pleasure to photograph. He's a performer so he has presence in front of the camera—and his wardrobe was great. His clothing popped in the recording studio and in front of the background. It all worked out well." Dorfman has shot for a variety of editorial, advertising, and movie studio clients, including the New Yorker, W magazine, Fortune, Best Buy, and Paramount Pictures.
