City Cast Madison One of the World's Most Famous Photographers Lives in Madison
You’ve surely seen his work. The photo of President Obama in the White House situation room. The iconic moment when a five-year-old child reached up and touched Obama’s hair, after asking if it was like his own. These photos are by White House photographer Pete Souza.
Souza has since moved to Madison, where he freelances and occasionally pops off about current events online, when he’s not taking beautiful images of our fair city.
We caught up with him to learn what it was like to be a witness to history during those years.
And of course, how we can become better photographers.
Pete Souza’s most recent book is called The West Wing and Beyond: What I Saw Inside the Presidency.
