Photographer Naomi Shon only needed one “real” job after college to realize that the corporate grind wasn’t for her. Now, the New York-based photographer is her own boss, with a portfolio that reads like a who’s who of fashion and music tastemakers, including Lana Del Ray and everyone’s favorite Man Repeller, Leandra Medine.
