#197 PETE SOUZA, THE PRESIDENT’S PHOTOGRAPHER
President Barack Obama wrote; “I probably spent more time with [photographer] Pete Souza than with anybody, other than my family, having Pete around made my life better. Pete became more than a photographer. He became a friend, a confidant, and a brother.”
Today, that man, that photographer, talks to us on Photography Daily. We learn about how he landed the job, how he felt about it, how he interacted with the most powerful man on the planet, what happened in the Incident Room in 2011 and why he chose to do social media battle with Barack Obama's successor.
Our thanks to MPB.com and Studioninja.co for their support and of course our patrons including Patron of the Day, Giles Penfound.
