Frederic Aranda Neal Slavin is an American photographer who has devoted his career to photographing groups. In 1976 he published "When Two or More Are Gathered Together", a book looking at various clubs and organisations across the USA. The portrait "New York Stock Exchange" taken later in 1986, was included in the expanded re-edition of the book which was re-published in 2026 by Damiani Books, bringing together half a century of American group portraits spanning the 1970s up to 2023.
