If you’ve read more than one or two articles about the stock market, you’ve probably seen a picture of Peter Tuchman — who for years has been known as the most photographed trader at the New York Stock Exchange. With his wild Einstein-style hair, vivid expressions and theatrical gestures, he has been the go-to guy for photographers and photo editors who need an action shot about the markets.
“I hold strong that I’m the most photographed guy down here,” says the 61-year-old Tuchman, who lives in Manhattan, has worked the floor for 34 years and is employed as a trader by Quattro M Securities Inc.
