New Hampshire-born Jessica Craig-Martin is an event photographer for Vanity Fair and The NewYorker.“Midnight at the Oasis is titled for the ’70s hit by Maria Muldaur. It was taken at a private party at a nightclub in New York. The party was full of heiresses. I thought of the ladies room as an oasis; a calm respite from the dance floor.” writes Craig-Martin.
