11 minutes on the steps: How an AP photographer framed Trump and Xi’s red-carpet shot
The image captured the two couples on the museum steps, with AP saying the red carpet and sparse composition made the scene stand out.
- AP photographer Julia Demaree Nikhinson captured a photograph of President Donald Trump and Melania Trump with Chinese President Jinping and Peng Liyuan on the steps of the National Archives Museum.
- The visit occurred on the final day of the Chinese President's state visit to Washington, his first to the city in more than a decade, when the couples toured the museum to view the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
- Hours of preparation went into about 11 minutes of photography, with Nikhinson using a Sony Alpha camera and a 70-200mm lens to capture the interaction between the leaders on the red carpet.
- The image features the red carpet on the museum staircase with only four people present, capturing The Trumps primping for the photo while Jinping and Peng observed the moment.
- Transmitting images live to editor Paula Munoz, Nikhinson ensured the photograph appeared on The Associated Press wire within minutes, documenting a historic diplomatic moment.
