I have a vast amount of admiration for creative photographers. How they can create these alternate universes using real life as the backdrop.
I was having a laugh to myself at the weekend when Queen Marie was taking some photographs of me in Hilary Laing dresses and she said, as she tried to get me to move or just do something in general, "you don't like doing anything but standing straight, do you?". I couldn't argue! I'm terribly unphotogenic and I always have been, but that's just luck of the draw. Some people are fortunate enough to really come to life when the camera is on them, but not me. I don't even think I would light up the screen even if Tim Walker shot me! Still, doesn't stop me admiring it in others.
Eugenio Recuenco creates some outstrandingly beautiful shots.
I especially love the photographs which look like gothic/medieval paintings.
