Outstanding. I love the way you break this down. Really, really interesting to get the behind the scenes. Despite the changes of style the quality of the photography by the remaining photographers who cover the campaigns remains outstanding.
Is it just me, or does FoV feel like an episodic chronicle of the demise of modern age journalism?
How is it possible that the most consequential election for the entire western hemisphere (to say the least) in two hundred years is getting covered by just a handful of cameras?
As always, great piece, Patrick! Scary, nonetheless.
That last Sarah Pinkus shot actually made me go "ooof!" The context put a pin in the bubble of such a contrived stunt. So sad it's not so widely seen. But thank you. It is the perfect reminder...

Thanks so much!

Moneymaker really does seem to have a knees-in-the-dirt closeness to her subjects (or maybe your curation of her pictures does?) which I really admire
She's so damn good and I think her photo from the attempt will resonate even more in the future.

Outstanding indeed. I re-posted this on my Substack newsletter, "Crossing Media: Chronicles of a Multimedia Storyteller". https://open.substack.com/pub/crossmedia/p/fast-food-politics-candidates-photographed?r=ydnoo&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
One of the best photo books I’ve read is “How Not to Be a Photojournalist.”
Great, as always.
