But behind those moments are quiet decisions, pressure, and a photographer witnessing it all from just a few feet away.
This video is a highlight from my full conversation with former Chief White House Photographer Pete Souza, who documented both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama during their presidencies.
In this clip, Pete shares what it’s like to photograph two very different presidents, the responsibility of capturing moments that may never happen again, and how photography intersects with history, emotion, and real human experiences inside the White House.
