Bruce Springsteen photog takes the offical photos of The Queen


How queen of the lens snapped a royal portrait for American visitWill Pavia
She has photographed Whoopi Goldberg in a bath of milk, Clint Eastwood bound with ropes and the actress Roseanne Barr mud wrestling, but when America’s leading celebrity photographer arrived at Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty probably had something more traditional in mind.

Annie Leibovitz, who made her name with outlandish photographs of America’s most famous people, had been commissioned to take an official portrait to mark the Queen’s forthcoming state visit to the US.

The photographer drew up at the Palace with her retinue on March 28 and was shown into the White Drawing Room.

Leibovitz’s shoots are noted for their extravagance: typically she commands vast budgets and fleets of panicking assistants. She has been known to charge more than $100,000 (£50,000) a day.

I like the photo, do you ?
