Yoichi R. Okamoto (1915-1985) was the first official U.S. presidential photographer serving Lyndon B. Johnson. He was fondly known as Oke and was given unprecedented access to the Oval Office. He captured images of the President of the United States more candid than had been previously acceptable.Because of his ability to be present at almost any event more photos of the Johnson presidency are available than from any earlier term of office.
