The US presidential election of 2000 was one of the closest and most contested in history. It was more than a month before the result was decided after a Supreme Court decision. It all came down to the vote in Florida, a 'swing-state', where irregularities and technical problems added to the confusion. In the end it's thought there were just a few hundred votes in it, but years later, the result, and the handling of the election in the state, divides opinion. Callie Shell was the official photographer for Al Gore's presidential campaign and documented the dramatic events behind closed doors in pictures. She's been telling Rebecca Kesby what it was like to be there.
Callie Shell hat Barack Obama bereits fotografiert, als er noch Senator war. Sie hat ihn, seine Frau und seine Kinder 2009 in das Weiße Haus begleitet und sie ist über die Jahre zu einer engen Vertrauten geworden. Viele ihrer Bilder sind Ikonen der Fotografie und in allen großen Medien der Welt veröffentlicht worden. Begleitet werden die zum Teil erstmals veröffentlichten Bilder von Texten aus Interviews und Reden von Michelle und Barack Obama. Ein einleitender Text der Fotografin erzählt von ihrer persönlichen Freundschaft mit dem Präsidentenpaar. Die Vertrautheit, mit der Barack und Michelle Obama Callie Shell stets begegneten, ermöglichte Bilder, die neben fotografischer Brillanz eine besondere Intimität und Wärme ausstrahlen. Callie Shell wurde 1961 in Georgia geboren und hat Politikwissenschaft studiert. Sie fotografiert für das Time Magazine. Vorher war sie acht Jahre im Weißen Haus als offizielle Fotografin für Vize-Präsident Al Gore beschäftigt und hat fünf Präsidentschaftskampagnen begleitet. Zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen und Auszeichnungen. MODERATION: Elisabeth Sandmann VERANSTALTER: Elisabeth Sandmann Verlag Stiftung Bayerisches Amerikahaus

But she was an experienced political photographer and knew there was something special about him. When Obama became a US Senator , she photographed him over his first year while also getting to know his family.Callie became known as the family’s “semi-official private photographer” and although she turned down the official job in the White House, she was there for his first 100 days. She has released a book of her photographs along with some of his most famous quotes called “Hope, Never Fear”. Callie Shell joined Saturday Mornings with Jack Tame to look back on working with the former President of the United States.LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW ABOVE
