Royal Photographers and their iconic photographs: the best of the best

[pipsfromthefuture]

Photography hobbyists and aficionados unite.

Welcome to the thread where you can display and discuss some of the most iconic photos captured by some of the most talented photographers.

These aren't your average Instagram photos. Oh no. These are the ones that live in your head rent free. The Marie Kondo of photos that spark joy. Where everything in the photo is perfection.

This thread is meant to be fun, light-hearted, and showcase the talents of those behind the lens.

Please do not derail, and do not use this thread to be snarky or have a dig about subjects you don't like, or to other posters. If you cannot keep in the spirit of the thread, then please don't participate or spoil it for others.

Dalton James Bond vibes

Queen Sirikit of Thailand, so beautiful in the 60s. Her fashions were amazing, she had Dior, Balenciaga and all of that, and incorporated traditional textiles into Couture outfits.

Gorgeous! Very Audrey Hepburn in that dress and hair.

Very much so

Princess Eugenie on her wedding. I think this is a perfect shot.

This may be my last of the photos from the BRF, I want to mix it up and find more iconic photos of royals outside the UK lol. (Style and Beauty people where are you??!)

@ArcaneWireless She was/is clearly unwell and in pain, but even so, it looked like there was some mess-up of the planned arrangements.
I suspect she was supposed to sign the paper, bow to him, say something, he would say something back, then she would leave and he would sign the paper.
But instead she signed, bowed, then he sat down, so she spoke to the back of his head then left. Awkward and an upsetting way to go.

Agree @HoHoHoliday I really didn’t like that at all it felt incredibly disrespectful.

That’s interesting, it’s put me in mind of Caravaggio, with the moody shadows and atmospheric tone. He was brilliant at capturing powerful females, in all their dark duplicitous glory.

(Fangirl obvs 😊)

Oh that's unfortunate. Fred must have been so anxious that he accidentally missed some steps. Probably realized it later and kicked himself

Love this

Love this

Agree @HoHoHolidayI really didn’t like that at all it felt incredibly disrespectful.

Letting her walk out alone was poor, too. Someone should have been there to escort her/accompany her. An equerry or someone, if there wasn't a family member available.

Paradise found.

(It would be for me)

I like this one

And peep bo

@HoHoHoliday that seems really poor. From what I know, their queen was like our late queen and was really long on the throne so reading that makes me feel sad about how they treated her. I hope someone apologised to her

You're right. It's very solemn. Not quite funereal, but there's something darkly epic and biblical about it. Like a legend of sacrifice or something. Very beautiful.

Yes, it's wonderful.

Had a scroll and cant see it......but the one of Catherine in the red dress with pockets, think it was one of the ones for her 40th.

For me....

Posh Frock tick
Rocking at 40 tick
Pockets tick!!

Her eyes are so lovely in this. Beautiful photo.

Princess Diana in Victor Edelstein dancing with John Travolta at the White House in 1985.

Gorgeous

Kate is extraordinarily beautiful but natural looking too.

Definitely worthy of the iconic photo label!

Can't believe I forgot about this one

The way William is holding the dog struck me. He’s an animal lover?
