Photo: Lelanie Foster/ The White House just released the first portrait of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson after her historic, bipartisan Senate confirmation. The portrait was taken Friday morning by Lelanie Foster, a photographer from the Bronx.
“My photographic work explores themes and complexities of identity, beauty and womanhood through the lens of my experiences as a Black, Caribbean, multi-ethnic, Latina growing up in New York City,” she wrote on a website called Lensculture.You’re calling me from inside the White House after being a part of history by photographing Judge Jackson right before her confirmation as the first Black woman in the Supreme Court.
It was a complete shock, and then everything kind of started to settle in, and I felt all the honor and gratitude. Then came the pressure of like, All right, get this shot. I started thinking about all the things that I wanted to say in the image and all the things that I wanted to portray in it. These things come together so quickly; it’s different from other shoots where you have so much planning involved.
I had some Sade playin,g and I asked her if she wanted to listen to that. For me, Sade always calms me before a shoot, and it’s a nice vibe, and she was loving it. She was like, “Let’s stick to this.” There was a song that came on that she started really feeling and dancing too. I’m so mad I can’t remember which one it was, but we played Sade for the entire 45 minutes.
