"Marion" is a collection of works by American photographer Christopher Anderson (1970-). While working as a leading photojournalist in conflict zones such as Haiti and the Middle East, since the late 2000s he has turned his attention to his family, the closest thing to him, and opened up new horizons in documentary photography. This book is the final installment of his family trilogy, following "Son" and "Pia," and focuses on his wife, Marion, with whom he has been married for many years. It contains photographs taken over approximately 20 years, capturing her transformation from lover to wife and then mother, quietly depicting not only love and intimacy, but also the passage of time and the accumulation of life itself. Anderson initially did not consider his photographs of his family to be "works of art," but after his close friend and war photographer Tim Hetherington described them as "photographs about the passage of time," he began to see them as his life's work. This book contains a collection of photographs that can be seen as the culmination of that realization, and the author's philosophy that "photography is not creation, but an expression of love and a record of it" is deeply ingrained throughout the book. As the conclusion to the family trilogy that Stanley/Barker have been continuously publishing, it is an important work that represents the publisher.
