Today on The Life Of Phys, we’re sitting down with the man behind some of the most iconic photos in modern American history.

Pete Souza isn’t just a photographer — he’s the photographer who had a front-row seat to the presidencies of both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. As Chief Official White House Photographer, Pete captured everything from high-stakes meetings in the Situation Room to candid moments in the Oval Office — moments that told the world more than words ever could.

Before the White House, Pete was hustling as a staff photographer for the Chicago Tribune, shooting for National Geographic, and chasing stories around the globe. He’s since become a bestselling author with Obama: An Intimate Portrait and Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents, and a powerful voice on leadership, image, and truth in the age of media.

He's also been inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame — yeah, that’s a thing — and taught visual communication at Ohio University.

If you've ever seen a photo that gave you chills, chances are Pete Souza took it. Now let's get to the show
