Very interesting article in today's Guardian (Feb 20) discussing the making of the amazing photograph of former Prince Andrew leaving the police station after his recent arrest. Reuters photojournalist Phil Noble explains how he captured the picture, now seen around the world and destined to receive a top award.
For those of us who don't read The Guardian, could you please give us some of the details? I'd love to know how Reuters takes photographs.
It’s interesting that the Guardian devoted so many words to describe the photographic process but, frankly, it’s nothing that thousands of other paparazzi haven’t been doing for a very long time. The picture, itself, really isn’t either that good or very newsworthy. Without further explanation there is no context. A very forgettable image that is simply being used to exploit his sad situation. Time will tell if the picture has any lasting impact or if there are any associated awards. Now, a picture of him in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit standing before a magistrate might be worthy…

Reuters photojournalist Phil Noble staked out police station for hours, just catching ex-prince as he sped offwww.theguardian.com
Fancy that - sitting and having to wait for a photo to happen.
Who woulda thought...
He didn't want to use the phrase "decisive moment". Trademarked.

Best thing about it was it removed images of another head of state off the front page for a couple of days.
A least until this morning. sigh.

That says to me: "deer caught in the headlights".
It makes the image, for me.
In my opinion this is a much better picture. Not only is it film, it is so good people have called it is fake.
