His photographs have also been published in many other magazines and newspapers around the world including on the covers of Life, Fortune, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report.

    I’ve been struggling to write a comment that expresses quite how much I admire Souza for his ability to capture moments of tenderness, sincerity, warmth, those images that sum everything going on in a single frame. The fact is, I can’t. The man is an absolute master of his craft.

    This is what i try to teach everyone, and what everyone should remember.. THOSE are GREAT pictures. Full of Emotion and Stories.
    No need for artistic shallow depth of field. Pete´s photos show that its more important to take photos of special moments, with the gear he had around. No fancy Canon 1DX or Hasselblads, 2 Cameras, 2 Lenses, sometimes a flash. Thats it. Peter really is someone i look up to.

    I had the pleasure of seeing a small exhibit of Mr. Souza’s photographs of President Obama in New Bedford Massachusetts a while back. Very moving.

  • @ericcooper4557
    @ericcooper4557 Před 3 lety

    I'm reading and loving the book OBAMA AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT photographed by Pete Souza. I'm amazed and impressed with the even indoor lighting inside the White House and other places shot by Pete. I would love to be able to get this type of lighting in some of my indoor photographs at events such as parties. Before watching this video, I was sure that the photos in this book was shot by a Leica camera because the images are so sharp! Pete let us know that he used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera with a few lenses such as the new Canon 24-70mm lens.

    Πολύ σπουδαίος φωτογράφος που με εμπνέει με την τέχνη του.Δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχουνε πολιτικούς στην Ελλάδα να πιστεύουν στη δύναμη της φωτογραφία.Πολλές φόρες το ρόλο του φωτογράφου το κάνει η γραμματέα με τις γόβες και μετά καλά κρασιά άλλα λόγια να αγαπιόμαστε( τα λέω εγώ αυτα)
