On assignment for the Financial Times to photograph playwright and former comedian/clown Jenny Lee for her piece in the FT's Life & Arts section entitled “Send in the Clowns.” Her clever and insightful article investigates why comedians are being voted into public office. Think Ukraine’s recently elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky. And Beppe Grillo, the founder of Italy’s Five Star Movement, the largest single party in the Italian parliament. In the States we had Al Franken, former U.S. Senator from Minnesota. © Carla Cioffi
