Description
Over the past two years, New York-based Mark Peterson (born 1955) has photographed American presidential candidates as they lead rallies, meet with the public, and plead for votes. He began documenting the race shortly before the government shutdown in 2013 at a Tea Party rally at the US Capitol, when politicians were railing against President Obama and the Affordable Care Act.
Since then, Peterson has followed the political spin as it approaches the November 2016 election, creating already-famous images of Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, and others. He cuts through the staging of their personalities and reveals the cold, naked ambition for power. This volume documents what has been widely described as the most polarised and bizarre presidential race in American history.
Mark Peterson's work has been published in The New York Times Magazine, New York, Fortune, Time, ESPN The Magazine, and Geo, among many others. His numerous awards include a W. Eugene Smith support grant. Peterson's book Acts of Charity was published in 2004 by Powerhouse Books.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Aline Smithson of "Lenscratch" praises the book for distilling the election to its bare essentials with black-and-white imagery that exposes the oddities of democracy. Bookforum describes the photographs as a stark melodrama, comparing them to works by Weegee, Charles Peterson, and Robert Longo. The "Seattle Book Review" finds the book fascinating, highlighting how it uncovers the theatrical nature of political campaigns beyond the polished media portrayals, offering an unusual glimpse into the American electoral system.
