Anwar Hussein (photographer) (original) (raw)

Anwar Hussein (born 1938) is a Tanganyika-born British photo journalist and author. In 2016 he became the longest-serving photographer covering the British royal family and Queen Elizabeth II. Hussein is notable for changing perceptions of royal family through the use of casual photographs instead of formal portrait photography. Two of Hussein's sons went on to become royal photographers, but working independently from Hussein. His photographs have been used by Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother for their Christmas cards.
