It is obvious that he is at one with his camera and his subject. From the dignity of great state occasions one's eye is swept to the carefree moments when the joy of living is captured through the lens of a sensitive artist.
On any Royal Tour the hardest working participants are those members of the Royal Family concerned, but alongside are the many individuals contributing to the success of the tour including the journalists and photographers whose responsibilities are to feed the world's press with the stories and pictures so eagerly awaited by an international readership. Prominent amongst these has been Serge Lemoine whose sensitivity in photography has earned him the respect of his Fleet Street colleagues.
There is probably no photo-journalist today, of any nationality, whose affection for the Royal Family is so apparent in his work. In this book, he attempts to share this understanding and respect with those of us fortunate enough to own this record of a much loved family. Vissza
