ABOUT THE PROJECT

During Barack Obama's two terms, Pete Souza was with the President during more crucial moments than anyone else -- and he photographed them all. Souza captured nearly two million photographs of President Obama, in moments highly classified and disarmingly candid. Obama: An Intimate Portrait reproduces more than 300 of Souza's most iconic photographs with fine-art print quality in an oversize collectible format.

Together they document the most consequential hours of the Presidency alongside unguarded moments with the President's family, his encounters with children, interactions with world leaders and cultural figures, and more. Souza's photographs, and stories that accompany them, communicate the pace and power of our nation's highest office while also revealing the spirit of the extraordinary man who became our President. This book puts you in the White House with President Obama, and is a treasured record of a landmark era in American history.”

The project was multifaceted and the first in Shelby’s business (therefore always holding a special place in her heart among her numerous projects). Having worked with Pete for four years at the White House, Shelby had a deep understanding of his style. She collaborated closely with Pete over a few weeks to dial in the toning to his liking. Following the completion of the book, she handled the printing of his 2017 gallery show at the Kennedys Museum in Berlin, Germany.
