President Obama closes out 2012 on the cover of TIME Magazine as their “Person of the Year.”
On the cover of TIME Magazine, President Obama posed for his first official portrait since his re-election. The picture was captured by legendary photographer Nadav Kander, who is known for his “painterly touch.”
The famed photographer spoke about the portrait saying, “When photographing such a high profile individual, it’s a huge challenge to not let their high profile take over the process. I wanted to make a meaningful photograph that reflected pause in a person’s life and reflect his humanity.”
And TIME’s managing editor Rick Stengel spoke about choosing the POTUS as “Person Of The Year” saying, “We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes, and Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America.”
