Triumph & Defeat in Washington D.C: Capturing the Inauguration & People’s March

As part of the growing relationship between The VII Foundation and Apple Inc., contributing photographer to the foundation Ed Kashi was commissioned to use Apple’s Vision Pro goggles to capture ‘spatial’ stills and videos of President Trump’s inauguration and the lead-up to a counterprotest, the People’s March, the following day. Alongside his wife and collaborator, Julie Winokur, the couple captured these two polarized events in the cold, snowy days of late January 2025 in Washington, DC. Having covered Trump’s first inauguration in 2016 and the ‘Women’s March’ that took place the following day, the contrast between the two presidential eras was great. In 2016, the crowd was much smaller, and the weather was less foreboding, while the Women’s March was vast. This time, the Trump crowd was triumphant, even in terrible weather conditions, appearing to reflect the cult-like following he had developed. The People’s March was anemic by comparison and evoked a sense of defeat and exhaustion in those who oppose Trump. This discussion examines the coverage of these significant events and the technologies employed.
