Does Melania Trump have a White House photographer?

[left-of-center2012]

BBC World News tonight had an interview with Amanda Lucidon who was Michelle Obama's photographer during the eight years of the Obama administration.
She followed the First Lady around, remaining in the background, taking candid photos of Michelle as she went about her day.

She said some of the most touching photos were the candid shots of Barack and Michelle together. Their love for each other so real and obvious.

I'd like to see some candid photos of the Trumps together.

2. There might be a few photos of them eating dinner

at opposite ends of a long dining table, scowling at their food or each other.

3. The Trumps do not share a real and obvious love.

Trump treats Melania poorly. He probably holds something over her to keep her from leaving him.
The only time Melania looks relaxed is when she's not around him. She looks stressed out most of the time. Who wants to take a picture of that?

4. They share the Love of Money

6. Yup

5. Melania married him for one reason and she is paying dearly for that decision

Her problem.

Yeah, I heard she was divorcing him after the election and was mad as hell that she had to follow through on this FFOTUS job, although, it isn't much of a job since she isn't doing anything. That's probably why there is no photographer -- she isn't doing much other than exercising, "taking care of Barron", and shopping.

9. Well, thats what she was doing in New York so at least we arent paying extra now

Burned my butt that we here in NYC had to cough up millions so those snowflakes could stay away from Unser Donnie.

8. The Obamas have built a wonderful life for themselves.

I bet Trump envies their happiness.

10. Most photos of tRump where he is aware of cameras,

he puts on a phony expression. If Melania is present, he tries to give the impression of a loving husband, doing things like taking her hand. We ALL remember the famous hand slap she gave him as they walked along side by side. THAT was hilarious, by the way. He didn’t try to take her hand again any time soon. 😂😂😂

When Melania is on camera she goes into model mode, squints her eyes and looks very stern. So endearing. I don’t think we want to see candids of these two fakes. I have a feeling most photos they release are highly planned and scrutinized to make sure they like the message they convey. They surely would hate the message conveyed in any candid photos. 😳

11. Never happen. You wont see Barron and his father

sharing a laugh and just having fun. They are a very strange family.

12. I feel sorry for Barron

With those parents, I fear he'll be damaged psychologically.

13. I clicked rec for that picture

So awesome. We had a scandal free 8 year POTUS.

14. They do post photos to the White House flickr account...

They're not very interesting: a lot of the shots are of Trump with people standing around him. There are some photos of Melania doing whatever she does, as well as photos of Pence. They've uploaded 1,095 Photos to date, starting in 1/2017, which have had 11,900,000 views. Daily views to date based on a simple average: 35,400

Out of curiosity, I checked the statistics for the Obama administration album archive. They uploaded 6,668 photos to date, starting in 2/2009, which have been viewed 307,800,000 times. Daily views to date based on a simple average: 95,200

(IIRC Pete Souza said that he took over a million photos during the two terms. I guess they get archived somewhere on computer storage media.)
