Rare photos reveal Michelle Obama's private life in the White House
We rarely get a glimpse inside the White House – and for good reason – but a new book is giving us a never-before-seen look at former First Lady Michelle Obama’s life behind closed doors.
Chasing Light: Michelle Obama Through the Lens of a White House Photographer by Amanda Lucidon is a collection of 150 candid photos taking you behind the scenes of the most powerful seat in the world and the woman who created a lasting legacy in the US.
Lucidon, who was the official White House photographer for four years, shares her own personal reflections on what makes Michelle Obama so special and so beloved. To see a sample of her best photos, scroll through the gallery above.
