Born in western Canada and brought up in West Texas. Christopher Anderson is the author of nine monographs of photography including the acclaimed trilogy of intensely personal works about family. Among his generation’s most widely published photographers, Christopher has been a frequent contributor to publications such as The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker. From 2011 to 2014 he served as Photographer in Residence to New York Magazine, a collaboration where he helped to define the visual voice of the magazine with editors Adam Moss and Jody Quon. Christopher was a member of Magnum Photos since 2005. Originally recognised for his work in conflict zones, his photographs depicting a journey with 44 Haitian immigrants attempting to sail to America on a hand-made, wooden boat would be awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal. The boat sank in the Caribbean and he would view this experience as a pivotal moment in his development as both a photographer and a human. From that point on, his photographs would be associated with an emotionally charged connection to the subjects, which would eventually include historical figures from presidents to cultural icons. Following the birth of his first child in 2008, Christopher exited the world of journalism and war photography, turning the camera towards family. These photographs would become the bestselling books SON, PIA, and MARION. Anderson works now as both a filmmaker and photographer floating between genres that include his personal images of family, fashion, portraiture and documentary. His most recent book ‘Odyssey’ was published in November 2023 by Stanley Barker. He lives in Paris.

Dana Lixenberg is known for her stripped-down portraits that revel in the elemental characteristics of her subjects. She uses a large-format field camera – a cumbersome tool, which necessitates what the artist refers to as a ‘slow dance’ between her and her subjects. The resulting portraits contain an enormous amount of detail and texture, and are as revelatory as a personal encounter. The power of the work arises from its intimacy, compositional rigor and, importantly, the absence of social stereotyping. Lixenberg has been predominantly active in the United States, and her thorough understanding of the country and its society seeps through palpably in her work. Besides her extensive editorial practice, for which she photographed many cultural icons, she pursues long-term projects with a primary focus on marginalized communities. These projects include Jeffersonville, Indiana (2005), a collection of landscapes and portraits of a small town’s homeless population and The Last Days of Shishmaref (2008), which portrays an Inupiaq community on an eroding island off the coast of Alaska. Lixenberg’s most extensive body of work to date is Imperial Courts, 1993-2015 (2015), which she begun in the aftermath of the 1992 Rodney King riots. Spanning 22 years, the project tracks the changing shape of an underserved community in Watts, Los Angeles. In contrast to the often one dimensional, sensationalized media coverage of this neighborhood, Lixenberg employs a more subdued and collaborative photographic approach. Like her other projects, Imperial Courts consists of a series of photographs and a publication. Exploring other media for the first time, Lixenberg also included audio recordings and created a three-channel video installation. The project was awarded the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize in 2017 and continues to be exhibited internationally.

In 2001 Mann was named “America’s Best Photographer” by Time magazine. A 1994 documentary about her work, Blood Ties, was nominated for an Academy Award and the 2006 feature film What Remains was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2008. Her bestselling memoir, Hold Still (Little, Brown, 2015), received universal critical acclaim, and was named a finalist for the National Book Award. In 2016 Hold Still won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. Premiering in March 2018, Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings, opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. This comprehensive exploration of Mann’s relationship with the South traveled internationally until 2020. In 2021 Mann received the Prix Pictet, the global award in photography and sustainability for her series Blackwater (2008-2012). In 2022 she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Mann is represented by Gagosian Gallery, New York. She lives in Virginia.

Mark Power’s complex, meticulously crafted images - usually made with large format cameras - have earned him a reputation as one of the forerunners of British photography. For many years his work has been seen in numerous galleries and museums across the world, and is in several important collections, both public and private. However, Power considers himself to be primarily a book maker, and to date he has published fifteen: The Shipping Forecast (1996), a poetic response to the esoteric language of daily maritime weather reports; Superstructure (2000), a documentation of the construction of London's Millennium Dome; The Treasury Project (2002), about the restoration of a nineteenth-century historical monument: 26 Different Endings (2007), which depicts those landscapes unlucky enough to fall just off the edge of the London A-Z, a map which could be said to define the boundaries of the British capital; The Sound of Two Songs (2010), the culmination of his five year project set in contemporary Poland following her accession to the European Union; Mass (2013), an investigation into the power and wealth of the Polish Catholic church; Die Mauer ist Weg! (2014), about chance and choice when confronted, accidentally, with a major news event - in this case the fall of the Berlin Wall; Destroying the Laboratory for the Sake of the Experiment (2016), a collaboration with the poet Daniel Cockrill about pre-Brexit England; Icebreaker (2018) which documents two Finnish ships operating in the Bay of Bothnia; Terre a l’Amende (2021), the result of an artist-in-residency programme in the Channel Island of Guernsey, and the five-book, work-in-progress series, Good Morning, America, Volumes I (2018), II (2019), III (2020) IV (2023) and V (2025).

Daniel Arnold's work is deeply human, with a sense of intrigue and humor that breathes fresh air into an age of extreme curation and perfectionism. With a dynamic and versatile voice, he has covered everything from home births to high fashion, from the Met Gala to the 2016 campaign trail and multiple inaugurations. Arnold began his career documenting the streets of New York City with an innate curiosity and a wry smile that quickly gained him a cult following and frequent collaborations with the New York Times and Vogue. In 2022, he was profiled by the New Yorker in conjunction with the release of "Pickpocket," an unconventional monograph compiled by the Safdie Brothers' Elara Press. Per that New Yorker profile, “Walking the streets, in his hoodie and dark mustache, with a camera or two around his neck, [Arnold] himself has become one of the city’s characters, a recognizable N.Y.C. figure.” His odd, enduring photos can be found in art galleries around the world - he can usually be found out wandering.
