Annie Leibovitz has taken bold portraits of many celebrities and has become one of the world's preeminent commercial photographers. But in a filming with Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom more than a decade ago, Leibovitz temporarily changed sides before the creation, and was gently "reprimanded" by the queen.

Back in 2007, in preparation for promotional material for a state visit to the United States, Leibowitz was hired to photograph a group of portraits of the Queen at Buckingham Palace. She and her 11 assistants spent 3 weeks preparing for this short 30-minute shoot.

The Queen wore a grand and luxurious costume (garter robe) and wore a lavish crown. The "complex" and "bulky" outfits took much longer than expected to prepare, so had to postpone the start time by 15 minutes.

The "complex" and "bulky" costumes took much longer than expected to prepare, so the start time had to be delayed by 15 minutes

When Leibovitz finally put the queen in the first place to shoot the scene, she offered to change the idea of shooting at the last minute.

Preparation before shooting

"I think it would look better to take down the crown," Master Anne Leibowitz told the Queen. “...... Can we try it without wearing a crown? It looks better that way, and it's less orthodox. Because the current body seems too orthodox..."

The Queen rejected the photographer's offer

But before Lebovitz could finish speaking, the queen stopped her words. "Not so orthodox?" The queen responded through tone and expression: "What do you think is orthodoxy?" ”

The Queen's stylist then told Leibovitz that once the crown was removed, it would affect the hairstyle and was not suitable for continued shooting. Anne Leibowitz then jumped on the subject and went straight to the shooting stage, suggesting whether it was possible to shoot a few crown-clad images and then take them off, and the Queen agreed. The filming went smoothly and resulted in a set of domineering portrait blockbusters.

This small tidbit was also reported by major newspapers in the United Kingdom and the world at that time, with the queen "reprimanding" photographers as the title of a hype.

From the propaganda of the British newspaper at that time, the Queen: "I will remain the same, thank you." ”

Of course, such a brief storm did not affect Queen Elizabeth's trust in the photographer Anne Leibovitz, and in the following years, she still invited Leibovitz to shoot for her. Included in the 2019 Queen's 90th birthday, a brand new set of portraits was taken by Leibovitz.
