Best Photos of 2015 from the White House
Слайд 2Inside the White House: Obama’s photographers get up close and personal
On
the eve of New Year’s Eve, chief official White House photographer Pete Souza posted his favorite staff images of 2015 to the website Medium. There was his boss, President Barack Obama, with everyone from world leaders to tiny babies. There was Michelle Obama, sharing (semi) private moments with her husband. And there was the Situation Room, where some of the most important decisions of Obama’s career were — and are — made. Souza narrowed down the thousands of photographs taken in 2015 to his favorite 111.
