Pete Souza is the official White House photographer. He apparently shoots with a Canon 5DIII.

I came across his Flickr site with lots of great photographs of the presidency. It's really interesting to look at the EXIF files and see the lenses and settings that he used for each shot.

Seems like a dream job for a photographer!

I thought some of you might enjoy it.

What, no Sony sensor? How does he handle the didactic range?

I've watched a couple of short documentaries on him and his staff. Be interesting for a while, but personally it'd soon get boring unless you were a 'power'-loving sycophantic/standard press type.

Many more interesting things to shoot beyond this, at times rather contrived, environment. But, ahh, the heady aroma of power.

He gets paid good money and he gets to fly in airforce one and go to amazing countries and photograph historic moments.

Quite a bit come the end of the year

Simple outfit, 5D3 and three lenses I think and no flash in the White House.

As ever the subject matters much more than the gear used.

Yes it's all nice, but do you see that hideous noise and banding after he did the always necessary 5 stop shadow push... ?

Seriously, if they made a book of these very images, I'd buy it right away.

He would quit. Orange skintone is tough to correct even in lightroom.

Eight years of intensive work coming to a close. Likely nothing else he will do will compare. At least it has ween so for others who had the job.

I saw some pics of him using a Sony awhile ago, but he probably dumped it...

I just spent over an hour browsing through the flickr photos, what a lot of great shots there. It makes me sad that America is soon to lose this president, he seems so down to earth and likeable and I can tell you he is way more popular than many of your past presidents (at least here in Australia and many countries) To think its possible that Trump could be in the white house soon

Better to keep politics out of this forum.

I have a documentary on Pete and his staff. At the time, there were 3 staff shooters.
They shoot a crazy amount of images a week.
Interesting to learn other staff members keep up with what is going on thru Pete and his staffs pictures.
Pretty interesting workflow.
There is a clip in the documentary of Pres Obama ribbing Pete when he has to wait for Pete to change a full card out. Been there done that ... just not for the President of the USA.

I also gathered you put your personal life on hold while performing this job.

I would not be surprised if Pete takes a serious break in January.

Pete is good. Real good.
