Stump – Christopher Anderson

This book brings together a series of striking portraits that Christopher Anderson calls “X-ray icons.”

Stump offers a radical, close-up perspective on the political spectacle in the United States, during a period marked by unprecedented levels of partisanship—most notably during the 2012 presidential campaign.

Today, Anderson is one of the most influential political photographers. He has enjoyed rare behind-the-scenes access to the inner workings of American political theater. The result is a collection of powerful portraits—what he calls “X-ray icons”—assembled in this publication.
