Doug Mills said that photographers like him receive “a lot more” access compared to the previous administration, in an interview with C-SPAN

“We’re getting a lot more, I mean from a photographer’s standpoint, we get a lot more access to the president. I see him more on a daily basis than we did with Barack Obama,” Mills told the network. “Sometimes three or four times a day, sometimes five times a day we will see him.”
Better access allows photographers like Mills to create a more dynamic view of the White House.
“It’s exhausting, but it’s great,” Mills said. “It is very different,” he added.
