England riots: One photographer's baptism of fire

When photographer Lewis Whyld of the Press Association arrived on Tottenham High Street on 6 August, the first and fiercest night of this summer's riots, he soon saw three other photographers being attacked. For the next hour he was forced to shoot on his mobile phone, and only pulled out his cameras once it was dark.
Shooting by the light of the police helicopter searchlight, Whyld captured these images that went right round the world. Here Whyld reveals how he documented a night of unrest in north London.

Royal Wedding Photography

The marriage of Wills and Kate is only hours away and your invite to be the royal wedding official photographer did not arrive then! Well Mario Testino, favoured at one stage to get the job, didn’t get it either eventhough he took this beautiful engagement images of the couple!


Official photographer for the day is Hugo Burnand. Hugo has been working with the royal family for years. For all of you ‘teccy-heads’ out there, on the day Hugo will be using a Hasselblad H4D-50 - a 50-million-pixel medium-format DSLR. A camera that will set you back the best part of £25,000 - with a lens of course!


Born in Cannes, France on 24th Sept 1963 and Harrow educated, Burnand is a world famous photographer who has worked at Tatler Magazine since 1993. Hugo Burnand’s step-mother Ursy Burnand was also a photographer in her own right, nurturing Hugo’s photographic skills from a very early age. Hugo Burnand has photographed many famous people and in 2005 he was the official photographer for the marriage of Camilla Parker Bowles and Prince Charles, whom he was commissioned to take the official 60th birthday portrait of too - you can see these images on his website.


Images from the Royal Wedding are to be included within the National Archive of Wedding & Social Photography and we are inviting you to send your ‘unofficial’ images too! Maybe you are in London for the Royal Wedding or know someone who is? Then send us those images – either by email to admin@sepiaquill.org or directly via our website www.sepiaquill.org.
