Behind the Lens with Obama's Photographer

BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, Behind the Lens with Obama's Photographer

The world through the eyes of five photographers.

We explore the world through the eyes of five different photographers.

This week on The Cultural Frontline we focus on five photographers. 

We meet the Pulitzer Prize winner, Lynsey Addario, whose work captures the people at the heart of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. 

The official photographer to President Barack Obama, Pete Souza, talks about his experience capturing the key moments of a historic US Presidency. 

We explore the work of the South African photographer, Tony Gum, who has  been called the coolest girl in Cape Town by Vogue Magazine.

Plus we head to the streets of New Delhi and Nairobi and discover the stories behind two photos taken by two citizens of those cities.

Presented by Tina Daheley.
