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.

Camilla's hair hasn't changed much 😂To be fair I've chosen a hairstyle and stuck with it as well.

And this early one of Charles and Camilla

I like this one

BirthdayRainbow · 07/03/2024 17:37

I've read she just picked it up and they went with it. I think it is great.

Op you reminded me how much I love photography.

I've had friends ask if I'd do portraits of them even though I just have my phone.

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do career wise instead of being an editor.

I'm looking at nice beginner cameras and I'm going to tell my friends I'm looking for models.

So thank you! This has inspired me a ton!

Awww, that's so nice to hear 🥰 maybe one day we'll be able to see some.of your work somewhere!

I seem to remember seeing a photograph in the Sunday Times years ago, of the late Queen sitting on some stairs in Buckingham Palace with the coronation crown on, laughing.

I think it might have been around the Golden Jubilee, when lots of behind the scenes photos were released.

I’ve searched everywhere online, but I can’t seem to find it. Did I dream it?

Emotionalsupportviper · 07/03/2024 17:44

I hope it was real @LunaNorth - I'd love to see it!

I love the one of the Queen in the thistle robes. Very dramatic

That and the one where she’s wearing a gown with the shire horses - epic

Wonderful thread, thank you, OP. Placemark?Surely not!

Just love this
maybe because I love the dress

Beautiful photo, What a stunning dress, I also love Kates photos at both funerals!

Princess Marina of Greece, Duchess of Kent, by Cecil Beaton,1937. Mother of the present Duke, Princess Alexandra and Prince Michael. A cousin of Prince Philip, and like him had Romanov connections. She was regarded as a beauty and style icon in her day, so had quite a lot of gamorous photoshoots.

Some very nice photos.

This thread is a handy way of trying to reintegrate Meghan. All these lovely images of all of the royal family and Meghan right among them, no us and them, and lots of positive messages.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are not trying to re-establish themselves in the UK. 😇

Love everything about this, the mischievous curl to the lip lifts the whole tone

Another one of Marina which shows the gown better:

Really beautiful. I’m getting Maria callas vibes ❤️

Maireas · 07/03/2024 18:57

Lovely pictures of Princess Marina, what an elegant woman. As is her daughter, Princess Alexandra.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 07/03/2024 19:07

Princess Alexandra was quite like her mother in many ways I think. Certainly around the eyes

I bet Pat wishes they were the arrows his troop had used on that fateful day. Wink

Love both Kate and Wills' expressions in this photo.

Damn Keith Darren Dean!

I love this one, clearly shows what a close and loving couple they were.
