HM Queen Elizabeth II, 2015

Various artists - HM Queen Elizabeth II
By Greg Brennan “Every year during the State Opening of Parliament there would be a procession, I knew that would be my best chance of capturing an image I’ve had in my head for decades. I wanted to show HM The Queen in portrait, a modern interpretation of the iconic image that appears on our stamps. Every year I would stand in a different place, at a different height and wait for the moment to arrive. I was determined to capture the image I had in my mind. And determination paid off. It was at the State Opening of Parliament in 2015 when she rode by in full regalia. I took a series of photographs and after she passed, I looked at what I captured. And there it was; I had it. It took me 12 years to take this one, single photograph. I sent a copy to the palace and received a kind letter in return asking for a copy of the print for the Royal Photographic Collection for posterity.” Platinum edition of 15, signed 16 x 20 inch - GBP 7,000 Gelatin silver edition of 25, signed 20 x 24 inch - GBP 4,000 (prices ex VAT for UK sales)
