Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, 2013

English author Neil Gaiman of short fiction and graphic novels, comic books, and films, including the comic book series 'The Sandman' and novels 'Coraline', and 'The Graveyard Book'. I photographed Neil in this graphic post-apocalyptic looking alley way to set him within an imaginary world not unlike the worlds he creates. Also to reference his new book 'The Ocean at The End of The Lane'.
