How Jeffrey Epstein Turned a Routine Photo Shoot Into a Warning About His Power (1/8/26)

Photographer Christopher Anderson shared a striking account of his 2015 encounter with Jeffrey Epstein that highlights Epstein’s effort to control how he was portrayed. Assigned to photograph Epstein for a New York Magazine story, Anderson didn’t know much about him beyond his powerful connections. According to Anderson, Epstein tried to negotiate buying the photos before they were published and later sent a large bodyguard to his studio to intimidate him into turning over the images when Epstein decided he didn’t want them released. Epstein reportedly pulled out of the story, threatened Anderson through his associate, and ultimately coerced him into handing over the photo files — actions that led the magazine to kill the story. Anderson only recently found a backup copy of those photos on an old hard drive, which include images of Epstein in his office with a taxidermied tiger and framed photos of his high-profile friends.

Anderson’s recounting shows how Epstein used power and intimidation to shape his public image and suppress media coverage, and it underscores the broader efforts by Epstein and his circle to manage exposure long before his crimes were widely known. His story provides a rare, first-hand look at how Epstein attempted to control narratives and retain influence over how he appeared in the press — even threatening professionals in the industry to do so.
