Who doesn't love Santa Claus? From award-winning photographer Ron
Cooper comes a beautifully curated collection of fifty professional
Santas from across the country. We Are Santa is a fascinating
glimpse into the lives of those who slip into the red suit to
spread Christmas cheer. Before and after portraits,
behind-the-scenes stories of custom made costumes and specialized
training, and surprising anecdotes of on-the-job encounters bring
these Santas to life. Just as Humans of New York captures the lives
of everyday people, We Are Santa celebrates the humanity of
everyday Santas. From a third-generation Kris Kringle to an
Orthodox Jew who has been playing Santa for fifty years, Cooper's
portraits are a testament to the holiday spirit. When Santa Mike, a
Navy veteran and aircraft mechanic, meets a six-year-old girl with
a prosthetic hand just like his own, he says, "Her eyes got big,
and she threw her arms around my neck. It was the highlight of my
season. That's why I'm Santa."
