Vanity Fair Photographer Reveals Why He Didn’t Edit Leavitt’s Lips

The Vanity Fair photographer who sparked an uproar with his close-up portraits of President Trump’s inner circle has revealed why he chose not to edit a snap of Karoline Leavitt’s lips.

Christopher Anderson’s photos featured alongside an unusually candid two-part story by Chris Whipple published on Vanity Fair on Tuesday. In the two-parter, Trump’s usually reserved chief of staff Susie Wiles rattled off anecdotes about the president’s closest allies, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, and Leavitt, Trump’s top mouthpiece.

The accompanying snaps created a furor almost as big as Wiles’ damning observations (she said Trump has “an alcoholic’s personality” and called Vance a longtime “conspiracy theorist.”)
