Barack Obama in College – 1980

Before his image was displayed in the National Portrait Gallery, a young Barack Obama was an 18-year-old freshman at Occidental College in Los Angeles when agreed to pose for aspiring photographer Lisa Jack. This playful picture was one of several from the casual photo-shoot.

“You can see he is just posing, initially, but as the shoot goes on, he starts to come out. He was very charismatic even then,” the photographer later said of Obama. Lisa Jack later spotted Obama during a tour in Washington in 2005 and yelled hello. She said he still recognized her after all that time.
