US EditionKaroline Leavitt Vanity Fair Photographer Defends His Extreme Close-Up
Vanity Fair's portrait series highlights White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's youth and role during President Trump's second term, featuring an unfiltered close-up by Christopher Anderson.
- Vanity Fair promoted on Instagram a slideshow that opened with an unusually tight close-up of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's face, part of a portrait series on President Donald Trump's second term.
- Christopher Anderson, photographer, defended his close-up style and Vanity Fair editorial team including Mark Guiducci, Claire Howorth, and Jennifer Pastore staged and narrated the shoot with assistants Benjamin Coppola and Trip Peters.
- Leavitt was identified in the profile as the youngest White House press secretary, and the unfiltered close-up emphasizes the contours of her face and her intensely blue eyes and fair skin.
- The portrait prompted intense public scrutiny, with many viewers claiming small dots on Leavitt's lips suggested lip injections; Vanity Fair's global editorial director targeted her, and Instagram commenters called the image `DIABOLICAL.`
- The package positioned Leavitt's persona and credibility by noting commentators framed it amid months of verbal sparring with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, while Mark Guiducci highlighted office decor including a uniformed guard, an American flag throw blanket, pumpkin pillows, and a Bible opened to Proverbs 4.
