Current Exhibit: Pete Souza: Two Presidents, One Photographer - November 9 - December 15
The iconic photographs of Pete Souza are well known from his tenure as Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama. What many people don’t remember is that Souza was also an Official White House Photographer for President Reagan.
Two Presidents, One Photographer showcases 56 of Pete Souza’s photographs of two presidents from opposite ends of the political spectrum. This exhibition includes Souza’s favorite images of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, providing us with candid moments that are windows into their humanity. What we see in Souza’s photographs are two Presidents who clearly respected the office they held, and genuinely respected the people they interacted with, no matter the circumstance.
Souza earned a master’s degree in journalism at Kansas State University. He is currently a freelance photographer in the Washington, D.C. area and professor emeritus of visual communication at Ohio University. Souza was the chief official White House photographer for President Obama and the director of the White House photo office. His new book, Obama: An Intimate Portrait, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
