When his presidency comes to an end, Barack Obama may have a bright future in show business. While Souza had to be ready to capture the right moments, he also aimed to work without intruding on the moment, saying he had to use intuition to know when the moment needed to be captured - and when it called for space.Īlong with working as the official White House photographer twice, Souza has worked as an assistant professor of photojournalism and as a freelance photographer with images published in National Geographic, Life Magazine, Fortune, and Newsweek. Souza recalled running to get the shot the moment Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held hands for just a few seconds at the commemoration of the Civil Rights March. Some of Souza’s favorites included several of Obama taking the time to interact with the children of other White House staffers and the moment the president sat down on the same bus where Rosa Parks sat in the “Whites Only” section. Souza’s job ranged from covering political moments like meeting with the Pope, to the day-to-day moments. “Not only does he have an amazing eye, not only are his pictures evocative, accurate, and creative, but he’s also become a great friend and someone I trust,” Obama said of Souza.
