After the birth of his son Atlas, Christopher Anderson moved away from war photography, turning his camera toward intimate glimpses of family life, which led to his 2013 book *Son*.
This beautifully redesigned new edition adds a second chapter of 80 new pages to the story, following the relationship between Christopher and Atlas up to the present day. The book includes both Anderson’s original illustrations from *Son* (2013) and 40 previously unpublished illustrations.
“These photographs are an organic response to an experience that is both the most unique and the most universal of all: the birth of a child. Just as 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 fundamental themes of life and death. Thanks to my son, my role as a son took on new meaning, and my senses were hyper-alert to the reality of my own life slipping away. Then, these photographs sort of just happened. They are a testament to love and a reflection on the seasonal nature of life. -Christophe Anderson
