Hugo Burnand, the photographer who captured the official photos of the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla last May, has also photographed their wedding in 2005, the king's 60th birthday in 2008, and the wedding of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales in 2011 and many other royal events.
King Charles III's coronation marked the first crowning of a British monarch since the invention of digital cameras -- so how did modern photographers go about capturing the sacred moment?
When I made images documenting the mourning period after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II there was a complexity to the situation that I wanted to convey. I wrote about navigating different manifestations of grief, as well as that grief in the context of the wider political relationship between the deceased and the citizens of the UK.
The British royal family has released the official portraits of King Charles III's coronation taken on Saturday by photographer Hugo Burnand who called the job "the biggest commission of my life."
