Writer Paula McLain is the author of the New York Times best seller The Paris Wife as well as the memoir Like Family: Growing Up in Other People’s Houses and two collections of poetry. For “A Life Untamed” (p. 32) she traveled to Kenya to follow in the footsteps of adventurer Beryl Markham, the heroine of McLain’s latest book, Circling the Sun. The historical novel explores Markham’s life amongst Kenyan colonial society in the early 1900s, which included Out of Africa author Karen Blixen.
Photographer Chris Hinkle captures a modern take on the cowboy way in “The New Rules of the West” (p. 52). The Arizona-based photographer’s past work can be found in Prevention, Fortune and the New York Times and his commercial clients include Under Armour and Nike. One of Hinkle’s favorite finds during the shoot was Singh Farms. “The passion Ken Singh has for growing organic and composting, trying to address an environmental crisis, is inspiring.”

XAVIER G IRARD - LACHAÎNE Photographer Based in Montreal, Canada, photographer Xavier GirardLachaîne has snapped pictures for clients including Conde Nast Traveller, The Telegraph and Acquired Taste magazine. He says the most interesting thing to photograph in China for “Shanghai to Beijing” (p. 40) was the Forbidden City – though he was reluctant to choose. “It makes it so interesting to shoot in a place where everything is new to you!” Lachaîne is currently working on photography for two books, including one about a forager family in rural Quebec.
NATASHA MEKHAIL Editor-in-Chief As editor of Fairmont Magazine, Mekhail is used to traveling far for work, from the beaches of Barcelona to the perfumeries of Grasse. In this issue she checks out China for “Shanghai to Beijing” (p. 40). The highlight of her journey: the food. “There is a true joy that surrounds mealtime that is palpable. You see it whether people are grabbing a quick bowl of noodles or sitting down to a multi-course banquet.” Her next stop: a summer holiday in Paris.
