Souza shared the photo to his Instagram page after Obama left the inauguration ceremony via the Executive One helicopter with Michelle and he captioned it, "Farewell."

Souza has already changed his Instagram profile to read "TBD. Former Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama." His photos taken before today have been purged for archival.

Souza also shared a photo of Obama boarding the helicopter, and exiting the Oval Office for the last time.
