Billionaire tech investors running huge philanthropic programmes don’t have much time, which is why our cover shoot with Yuri and Julia Milner had to be meticulously organised.
We made the long, winding drive to the location, California’s 130-year-old Lick Observatory, a day before the shoot to map out all the angles well in advance. Yuri’s tight schedule allowed only two hours for the taking of photos before he had to head back to business in Silicon Valley.
