Picturing Presidents is a newsletter that takes you inside the archives of the modern American presidency.

Why Subscribe?

Are you interested how presidential history is shaping the current moment? Each month I’ll share compelling objects, documents, and history that I discovered during my five-year photo documentation of presidential libraries operated by the National Archives.

About Me

I’m an award-winning photographer whose work has been published in The Washington Post, The New York Times, National Geographic, Bloomberg Businessweek, and New York magazine.

In 2021, I began what would become the largest photographic exploration of the presidential library system operated by the National Archives. Through years of research and travel, I gained rare access to these archives, locating and photographing more than 1,000 iconic objects and records—some of which have never, or rarely, been exhibited.

My forthcoming book, POTUS: Icons, Artifacts, and History That Shaped The American Presidency will be published this Fall by Abrams Books.
