Official White House photographer – early days
“I try to photograph everything. Every meeting that the president does,” Pete Souza told CNN’s John King on “State of the Union.”
On leave of absence from his normal post as an assistant professor of photojournalism at Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication, Souza is the chief official White House photographer for President Obama, meaning he has an all-access pass to the president’s most intimate and private moments.
“I look at my job as a visual historian,” Souza said on Sunday. “The most important thing is to create a good visual archive for history, so 50 or a hundred years from now, people can go back and look at all these pictures.”
Photography was and is an important love of my life…from my own early days.
