Episode #163: Pete Souza / Photographer

from Visual Revolutionary

Renowned photojournalist, and former Chief White House photographer for President Obama, Pete Souza joins the show to talk about his journey from a shy and somewhat socially awkward kid growing up in Dartmouth, MA with a passion for sports and a dream of one day writing about that passion, to becoming one of the most well known photographers in the country with 8 years of behind the scenes access and beautiful documentary work of the President of the United States.  During our conversation Pete talks about falling in love with photography during his junior year of college at BU and how that would end up shaping the rest of his life.  We move through his years in Kansas working for a small town paper, to his time at the Chicago Sun Times, to getting the call to work for Ronald Reagan, to covering the war in Afghanistan, to finally stepping into the position with Barak Obama that would make him a household name.  We also talk about the new documentary about his career called "The Way I See It' and the advice he gives to all those out there dreaming of one day documenting history as well.  To Learn More About Pete Souza Visit: https://www.petesouza.com And Follow Him On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/petesouza/ To Watch The Documentary "The Way I See It" https://www.amazon.com/Way-I-See-Dawn-Porter/dp/B08KYK4VPD To Learn More About Visual Revolutionary Visit: https://www.visualrevolutionary.com And Follow On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/
