Kevin Abosch is an Irish entrepreneur, investor and photographer. You would have seen his work if you've flown through Dublin Airport in the past few years as he photographed the Faces of Ireland series that resides there. He's also been commissioned to take portraits of among others, Johnny Depp, Steven Spielberg, Sheryl Sandberg and Malala Yousafzai.
Mr. Abosch now has the honour of having taken one of the top 15 most expensive photographs of all time. A potato.

He photographed the humble spud in his Dublin home in 2010 and made just three prints of the image. The buyer, who has asked to remain anonymous, inquired about the photograph when he saw it in Mr Abosch's Paris home and was told that the price was non-negotiable at €1 million.
