Dive in to this insider view of the White House and the men and women who fill it with life, love, and controversy.

Christy Bowe is not only a veteran White House press photographer. She's a chronicler of the real people behind the gravitas of the presidential facade. In History in the Making: Focus On Five US Presidents, Bowe not only takes us through a pictorial journey of five US presidencies but depicts the shifting human experience of each president, all of whom responds differently as both the US and the world send challenges, triumphs, and disaster their way. When photographing at the White House there is no choice but to react quickly and respond spontaneously, and Bowe captures each moment perfectly. Throughout the journey, Bowe grants us an inside look into the steps she took and the people who inspired her to make her way into the storied halls of the White House-and what it takes to make it in the press corps.

Before she jumped out of an airplane at 15,000 feet and earned her first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Christy Bowe, a third-generation Washingtonian, was thrown out of Catholic school in the ninth grade for refusing to conform. She briefly attended Montgomery College of Rockville, Maryland, and the University of Missouri Photo Workshop in Carthage, Missouri. Most of her education has been "on the job."

In pursuit of her passion for photography, Christy earned her way into the small, elite circle of White House press photographers. With support from the late, widely celebrated White House reporter Sarah McClendon, Christy started ImageCatcher News Service. She is represented by Getty Images and Zuma Press. Her corporate clients have included Harley-Davidson, the National Science Foundation, the National Press Club, and the National Organization for Women and Hitachi Corporation.

Christy is currently a member of the White House Press Corps, the House and Senate Press Photographers' Gallery, the White House Correspondents' Association, and the White House News Photographers' Association. She has lectured at American University, Montgomery College, and George Mason University. Christy has ten images preserved in the George W. Bush Presidential Library. She resides in Bethesda, Maryland, and continues to work as a photojournalist, currently covering her fifth US president, Joseph R. Biden.
