The Good Citizen is the debut book by Faroese-American photographer, Benjamin Rasmussen. As a selfconfessed ‘outsider’, Rasmussen wanted to explore how American society came to be what it is today and the complexities that make up the American identity.
For the last eight years, he has travelled through 43 different states and met with over 500 people to create the images used in The Good Citizen.
During his documentation of this diverse nation, Rasmussen has photographed everything from beauty queens and activists to abandoned everyday items
