Career[]

Schultz worked for the Clinton Foundation in New York City from 2007 until 2013. He served as a photographer for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.[4][5] He then joined Biden's team in April 2019, after the former vice president began running for the Democratic nomination, serving as the lead photographer for Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.[4][6] President Biden offered Schultz access to both public and private moments on the campaign trail and offered his own input and suggestions.[7][8]

In his White House role, Schultz leads a team of seven people.[9] He uses Sony α9 II cameras.[10]
