Trump's Administration – Vanity Fair

The Vanity Fair project is a raw visual study of Donald Trump’s second-term inner circle, featuring portraits by the photographer. Accompanying a major feature by Chris Whipple, the series captures key advisors—including Susie Wiles, JD Vance, and Stephen Miller—through a gritty, journalistic lens. Anderson used film and extreme, uncropped close-ups to bypass political theatre, revealing unfiltered skin textures and "shabby" West Wing details. The project went viral for its stark realism, contrasting polished media artifice with a skeptical observation of power.
