Photographing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson: The Mother, The Wife, The Woman
to serve in the U.S. Supreme Court, Foster got the call to gather her equipment and make her way to the White House. There, in the same building that houses Vice President Kamala Harris’s office—another woman of color who has broken barriers in politics—Foster took the stunning, raw portrait of Jackson that has caused waves of emotion since it was released Friday afternoon.
It conveys strength, perseverance, hard work, immense courage, and beauty: everything Jackson represents and everything Foster wanted to communicate."It was about the emotion that could be evoked in the image. I wanted to have her joyfulness but also her strength come across in the photograph," Foster tells me.The White House doesn’t often do such personal portraits, but the occasion of Jackson’s confirmation called for that, and a lot more.
"I gathered equipment last minute, drove all night in the rain, and I couldn’t, like, scout the White House," she says with a laugh."But we made it happen. Strong team." Foster, who describes Jackson as"absolutely wonderful" and"such a warm person," says the first thing the judge did when they met at the White House was tell her how much she loved thepiece and admires her work."So, it was a full-circle, very special moment that felt very right at the time," Foster says.
