After the birth of his son Atlas, Christopher Anderson moved away from war photography, turning his camera toward intimate reflections of family life, which resulted in his book Son in 2013.
This beautifully redesigned new edition adds a second chapter of 80 new pages to the story, following Christopher and Atlas's relationship to the present day. The book includes both Anderson's original images from Son (2013) plus 40 never-before-seen images.
"These photographs are an organic response to one of the most unique and universal experiences: the birth of a child. At the same time that I was feeling the intense joy of a new life, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer. It's fair to say that I found myself reflecting on the obvious themes of life and death. Thanks to my son, my role as a son took on new meaning, and my senses were hyper-attuned to the obviousness of my own life passing by. Then these photographs came along, in a way. They are a testament to love and a reflection on the seasonal nature of life. -Christophe Anderson
