A life isn’t a straight line, it doesn’t conform to an easy narrative. Christopher Anderson’s career has spanned conflict zones, presidential campaigns, near-death experiences, and moments of quiet domestic tenderness, all captured with a rare poetic sensibility. His new publication INDEX, coming Spring 2026, gathers 9 series from across his career, each presented as an individual volume.

From his early images in Afghanistan, where he was already working as a journalist on 9/11 and continued to document events through the span of the second Gulf War, to Haiti, where he boarded a wooden boat with hopeful migrants bound for America until it began to sink, a story that earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal. From volumes that chart the places he has called home, such as France and New York, to places that have left their mark on him, like China. From books that record tender moments with his family on holiday to immersive accounts of conflict in some of the world’s most troubled corners, even his fascination with cars finds its place here. Designed as nine volumes housed in a slipcase by the acclaimed artist Brian Roettinger, INDEX is a breathtaking way to experience the defining events and fleeting intimacies that shaped the first decades of the millennium.

“I suppose, from the outside, it looks as if I stopped being one kind of photographer to become another. To me, the same photographer who boarded a boat with Haitians trying to sail to America showed up to photograph Trump’s inner circle in the West Wing… continual points on a spectrum, colors bleeding together in the rainbow. The previous works inform and shape the photographs that follow.” — Christopher Aderson
