What Exactly Is The Job Of The Chief White House Photographer? | On the Media | WNYC Studios

There is a lot going on in the documentary The Way I See It, about the work of Obama’s Chief White House Photographer and latter-day Instagram influencer Pete Souza. The film chronicles his journey from photojournalism, to in-house documenter of history-in-progress in the Reagan and Obama administrations, to photo polemicist. There is the showcase of Souza’s work, which ranges from capable to splendid to poignant to poetic. And there is the pronounced nostalgia for presidents who were, whatever you thought of their politics, fully-formed and multidimensional human beings. He and Bob discuss his political evolution and the subtitles of White House photography.
