Larry Flynt controls his adult entertainment empire from his Los Angeles office

Without access to Larry Flynt's office, which required some very smooth talking with his personal assistant, I would never have been able to shoot this, and other photographs, of the man at work, controlling his vast adult entertainment empire. To see Flynt himself, behind his porn-magazine-strewn desk, in opulent surroundings that ooze wealth, is a great example of effectively using your access to capture an image that conveys a scene so few people ever see.
