His presidency started with a row over images apparently showing a sparse crowd for the inauguration ceremony in Washington.
And Donald Trump's tumultuous first year in office continued to provide striking images throughout the course of 2017.
For many in Britain, the sight of Prime Minister Theresa May hand-in-hand with the President will stick in the mind, as will the image of Barack Obama handing over power to his successor back in January.
In the year that followed, Mr Trump got on with the business of the presidency, in his own unique way.
During trips abroad, he met fellow strongmen. China's President Xi Jinping welcomed him to Beijing, and he also had a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
There were also plenty of comings and goings in the White House administration, with press secretary Sean Spicer and chief strategist Steve Bannon among a host of high profile departures.
And his decisions sparked protests around the world as the repercussions of his Twitter diplomacy were felt widely.
As he prepares for his second year in office, photographers will no doubt be re-focusing their lenses on a man with an apparently insatiable appetite for the limelight.
