White House Photographer

The official photograph of Barack Obama which was made by Pete Souza opened a great deal of discussions because of being the first president photo which was realized with a digital camera. But there is another interesting point respecting the photographer Pete Souza: he's a photojournalist. I think this is interesting because of the more or less critical point of view photojournalism claims to show. On his website Pete Souza presents a lot of us-oriented pictures but also a reportage about the road to Kabul. I won't recommend him as a good photojournalist because in my opinion he isn't critical enough, but I think it's interesting to following his way and take a look at his photographs apart the presidential pictures. His website: www.petesouza.com.
