For all of his cries of “fake news,” the image-obsessed president has singled out veteran photographer Doug Mills for his work—and can’t keep quiet about him

Mills is an affable straight-shooter who brings an ageless quality to his assignments and whose No. 1 rule is to show up as often as possible—but not let the repetitive scenery sap his creativity. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Spicer’s successor at the White House, considers Mills an “excellent photographer with tremendous talent,” noting that he “always treats everyone with respect.”
“Image is everything,” Mills says of Trump. “It drives social media. It drives his brand. It drives his base. It’s the empire of image.” Trump also has on occasion peered at the cameras and laptops of press photographers, commenting on photos before they’re submitted to editors. After meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May last summer, Trump noticed Mills and groused that a photo of his had made the president look like he had a “double chin.
The rain relented, and a hatless Trump waved off a military aide who approached with an umbrella. Mills stood on a ladder, with two Sony Alpha a9s, one with a superwide 12- to 24-millimeter lens, and the other with a 70- to 200-millimeter lens. An affixed “doubler,” used to double the focal length, gave Mills a close-up view. He was merely practicing, looking at different exposures and trying different focuses.
Early on, he developed a knack for earning the trust of presidents by putting them at ease. One Christmas Eve, when he was just a rookie, Mills sat alone in the White House briefing room and grew curious after a Secret Service agent dropped in. Curiosity turned to shock when, following close behind the agent, was President Reagan. “What are you doing here?” the president asked the young photographer. They shook hands and went out on the colonnade for a walk toward the residence.
