Family Trilogy

Christopher Anderson (1970, Canada) grew up in West Texas. He is the author of nine monographs of photography including the acclaimed trilogy of personal works about family. Anderson has been a frequent contributor to publications such as The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker. From 2011 to 2014 he served as Photographer in Residence to New York Magazine, helping define its visual voice. He was a member of Magnum Photos from 2005 to 2023. Originally recognized for his work in conflict zones, his photographs depicting a journey with 44 Haitian immigrants attempting to sail to America was awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Following the birth of his first child in 2008, Anderson exited the world of journalism and war photography, turning the camera towards family. These photographs would become the bestselling books SON, PIA, and MARION (published by Stanley/Barker). Now a French citizen, Anderson works as both a filmmaker and photographer, floating between genres that include his personal images of family, fashion, portraiture, and documentary.
