For some photographers, it took months to earn Queen Elizabeth’s trust. Others sidestepped the rules to get an image.
James Jarché, for example, smuggled a newfangled camera into the royal’s coronation and photographed laps around the other journalists. James L. Stanfield decided to ask for forgiveness instead of permission while on assignment—surprisingly to the queen’s delight. Jodi Cobb photographed the many faces of the monarch, walking away certain she’d captured the monarch’s true calling.
“I thought—this is where she really wants to be,” says Cobb. (Above, the queen in the rain in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1970.)
