This December, NikonNet's "Legends Behind the Lens" honors the career, photographs and works of photojournalist Barbara Kinney.
Not many photographers can tell you the exact exposure that's needed to photograph in the Oval Office, but Barbara Kinney can. As personal photographer to President Bill Clinton, and one of four official White House photographers, Barbara spent six years capturing not only moments with world leaders, but also personal and quiet moments of the President and his family. Barbara built trust with the Clintons and got to know them personally, as they got to know her. "It's not like I walked in the first day and thought, well, let me go photograph the President or the family in a private moment. They have to trust me, and I have to get to know them," says Barbara of how she captured candid moments of the First Family.
In 1996, Barbara received a first place award from the World Press Photo Foundation for her image titled "Primping for Peace" -- an image that captured President Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Hussein straightening their ties before an event at the White House.
