The photo blog Lens Culture has just posted a fabulous audio interview here, with photographer Nadav Kander. Kander discusses his intentions behind the hotly debated portfolio he shot at the end of 2008 of Obama’s People for the New York Times magazine. You can view the whole essay here. Some of my favorites below:

Rahm Emanuel: Chief of Staff

Euguene Kang: Special Assistant to the President

Joseph Biden: Vice President

Samantha Power: Advisor

Dennis McDonough: Senior Foreign Policy Aid

Ken Salazar: Interior Secretary
