"Mrs. Obama is a source of light and inspiration in my life," photographer Lucidon said in a statement. "She was a mentor to me and so many people around the world. The work she has done with young people, especially girls and underserved youth, has helped me realize that I want to spend my life helping others reach their fullest potential."

Another visual collection, "Obama: An Intimate Portrait," including pictures by White House photographer Pete Souza is also set to be released on Nov. 7. In his post-White House career, Souza has taken up the art of topically contrasting photos of Obama with narratives out of the Trump administration.

The collection is set for a release date of Oct. 17.
