For 32 years, six administrations, and nine secretaries, our HHS photographer Chris Smith has documented history through the people and work of HHS. We wish him a happy retirement. Read the new blog post from SecBecerra about Chris Smith's legacy:

I can speak for our whole HHS team when I say we’re going to miss seeing him around with his camera, and we’ll miss his presence.ImageIn three decades, he’s captured history and helped tell our story to the nation. He did more than just create extraordinary images; he helped us document who we are as people, and who we are as a Department.

Chris started at HHS in September 1990 and has served under six administrations and photographed nine HHS Secretaries. Before that, he got his introduction to the federal government at the U.S. Department of the Treasury where he worked under another trailblazer and early Black photographer in the federal government.

Chris has also taken countless headshots, including my own, and four of his Secretary portraits currently hang in the Great Hall where they will stay, enshrined in history.
