With a new president coming into the White House, there will also be a new photographer. The position of Official White House Photographer was established way back in the 1960s, and every president since JFK has been accompanied by a photographer, with the exception of one.

The latest episode of Digital Rev: In Focus explores where this tradition originated, and offers some tips for landing the highest photography gig in the land. You’ll need to start early and work hard, but like any job, it also helps to have connections.
