During July 2009, Sword Photography was chosen to work on a remarkable photograph by the White House head photographer Pete Souza. It was a well composed photo of the President and his Cabinet discussing the recent financial problems. It was the first full meeting of the cabinet.
Sword Photography was asked to artistically improve the photo by removing some color problems caused by a large display screen and to print the photo as a large canvas.
The photograph is now to be matted and framed by the US Government, where there will be a signing ceremony by all present at the cabinet meeting. Sword Photography was pleased and honored to work on this project.
