TIME contract photographer Marco Grob shares an intimate look into the making of the portraits and oral history series that comprise Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience. The project reveals the astonishing testimonies from over 40 men and women including George W. Bush, Tom Brokaw, General David Petraeus, Valerie Plame Wilson, Black Hawk helicopter pilot Tammy Duckworth, as well as the heroic first responders to Ground Zero. After looking into one of America’s greatest tragedies, Grob now shares his side of the story, and what it was like to be on the other side of the lens.

This project features a collaboration between TIME Magazine’s Marco Grob and Meerkat Media’s production and editing team. A frank interview with the artist interweaves with footage and stills featured in Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience, behind-the-scenes video of former President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, and in-house animations.
