When Senator John F. Kennedy began laying the groundwork for a 1960 presidential bid, his father Joseph P. Kennedy engaged Jacques Lowe to help craft his son’s public image. Lowe became the younger Kennedy’s full-time campaign photographer, and after JFK’s election, he documented the Kennedy administration as the president’s personal photographer until 1962. Lowe took this Kennedy family portrait in 1958.
Kennedy’s young children were often photographed in the White House. Candid photos of Caroline and John Jr. playing hide-and-seek in the Oval Office and attending classes in the Solarium captured public attention, contributing to President Kennedy’s youthful, family-focused image.
Cuando el senador John F. Kennedy empezó a preparar el terreno para su candidatura presidencial en 1960, su padre, Joseph P. Kennedy, contrató a Jacques Lowe para que moldeara la imagen pública del hijo. Lowe se convirtió en fotógrafo oficial de la campaña de Kennedy y, después de la elección, documentó el gobierno del presidente como su fotógrafo personal hasta 1962. Lowe tomó este retrato de la familia en 1958.
Los niños Kennedy fueron retratados a menudo en la Casa Blanca. Las imágenes espontáneas de Caroline y John Jr. jugando al esconder en el Despacho Oval o tomando clases en el solario cautivaron la atención del público y fomentaron la imagen del presidente Kennedy como un hombre vital y dedicado a su familia.
