Christopher Anderson—who will likely become known as the man who photographed the Trump administration for Vanity Fair—claims he was "hesitant" to accept to job.
"If I am honest, I was hesitant to accept the assignment from [Vanityf Fair Magazine] to photograph the Trump administration. I assumed, incorrectly, that I was being asked to wear my 'celebrity' photographer hat," Anderson shared via Instagram on Thursday, December 18, two days after the photos went viral. "My journalistic sensibility just would not be comfortable portraying politicians the way celebrity photographers have in similar portfolios of past administrations. Not this subject, not this context."
According to Anderson, Jennifer Pastore, the Global Creative Director for the magazine, clarified that was "not the job."
"The job was to bring my sensibility as a journalist and see the subject with a clear eye rather than that of a 'celebrity' photographer. The job was not to make anyone look good or bad," he added. "My mission was to show up and photograph honestly and thoughtfully."
Among the images released by Vanity Fair were unretouched, and up close, looks at political figures such as Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Miller.
View this post on Instagram"The internet seems shocked by the choice to not retouch any blemishes or wrinkles. It’s shocking to me that the world expects reality to be removed from a picture," Anderson continued. "My intention is not mockery or cheap shots. I’d like to think I’m a stone-faced but critical observer."
Followers and new fans praised Anderson's work in the comments, with one calling the photos "instantly historic."
"The defining photos of this admin," another remarked.
The photojournalist called the opportunity an "enormous challenge," with "immense responsibility."
"Celebrity photos are celebrity photos. Politicians are not celebrities," he concluded. "Let’s not mix things up."
