6 — JEA/NSPA Fall 2018 • CHICAGO Twitter: @nhsjc/#nhsjc KEYNOTE SPEAKER 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Grand Ballroom, Ballroom Level (East Tower) Pete Souza, photojournalist Pete Souza is a freelance photographer in the Washington, D.C., area and professor emeritus of visual communication at Ohio University. Souza was the chief official White House photographer for President Barack Obama and the director of the White House photo office. His book “Obama: An Intimate Portrait” was published by Little, Brown & Co. in 2017 and debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list. His most recent book “Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents” was published by Little, Brown & Co. in 2018. It is available at the JEA Bookstore. Souza worked as an assistant professor of photojournalism at Ohio University, the national photographer for the Chicago Tribune based in its Washington bureau, a freelancer for National Geographic and other publications, and official White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan. His previous book, “The Rise of Barack Obama,” was published in July 2008 and includes exclusive photographs of the Senator Obama’s rise to power. The book was on the New York Times bestseller list for five weeks. In addition to the national political scene, Souza has covered stories around the world. After 9/11, he was among the first journalists to cover the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan. As a freelancer, Souza photographed two stories on assignment for National Geographic Magazine and three photo essays for Life Magazine. 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. In 1992, Souza produced and published “Unguarded Moments: Behind-the-Scenes Photographs of President Reagan,” a book based on his 5 1/2 years in the White House. Former Sen. Howard Baker Jr. said in his introduction to the book that Souza recorded “some of the most intimate, honest and humanizing scenes of the presidency I’ve ever seen.” A updated book, “Images of Greatness: An Intimate Look at the Presidency of Ronald Reagan,” was published in June 2004. Souza was also the official photographer for the June 2004 funeral of President Reagan. In 1996, Souza published a documentary photography book titled, “Plebe Summer at the U.S. Naval Academy.” The book chronicles one company of incoming midshipmen through the six-week indoctrination period. Souza has won numerous photojournalism awards including several times in the prestigious Pictures of the Year annual competition, the NPPA’s Best of Photojournalism, and the White House News Photographers Association’s yearly contest. He has lectured many times on his photography including at museums, art galleries, universities and on numerous television shows. Souza has had solo exhibits of his photographs at the Leica Gallery in NYC, Kansas State University, Fermilab, the U.S. Naval Academy, the Navy Museum, The Kennedys Museum in Berlin, Cortona, Italy, the University of North Carolina, Boston University, Ohio University and the National Press Club in Washington. His photographs have also been part of group exhibits at the National Archives, Smithsonian Museum of American History, Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Newseum, and the 92nd Street Y in New York City. His traveling exhibit, “Two Presidents,” debuts in early February 2019.
