French photographer, director, and producer St phane Sednaoui felt compelled--not as a photographer but as a human being--to rush down to what would come to be known as Ground Zero, to volunteer in the search and rescue efforts. In the moments when the workers would pause, he would take pictures.
St phane Sednaoui has received critical acclaim for directing landmark videos with U2, Madonna, Bj rk, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others.
