See how the 52 key members of Obama’s team present themselves to Nadav Kander’s camera in this NYT folio. We wonder how will they look in four years’ time? A little more at ease in the public eye, perhaps…  Go to Obama’s People – The Series (photos by Nadav Kander/NYT Magazine). There’s an interesting audio by the photographer talking about the process. What they don’t talk about is how uncomfortable many of the subjects end up looking… The overwhelming impression is of ordinary people, not dressed like celebs, nor presenting to the camera with anything other than a moment’s distraction from their busy lives. But as a whole, this set of portraits shows people untutored for the real-life West Wing that lies ahead – vacant gazes, eyes all over the place, clothing all awry – and yet the hopes of the world rest on their extra-ordinary future. Was this the photographers intention? Fingers crossed… See BagnewsNotes for further commentary.
