The first is theatrical. New York actors carry themselves differently from Los Angeles actors — there is stage in the posture, and a willingness to be looked at properly rather than prettily.

Casting directors on both coasts respond to it because it looks like a still from something rather than a photograph of somebody.

Celebrating a Royal Legacy: Happy 82nd Birthday to Prince Michael of Kent

July 04, 2025 in Royal Portrait, Royal Regiments, London, Los Angeles, New York

Today, we celebrate the 82nd birthday of His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent (Michael George Charles Franklin; born 4 July 1942)—a distinguished royal, military officer, and steadfast patron of charitable and fraternal causes.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of photographing Prince Michael of Kent on four occasions. Each sitting offered a distinct window into his life of service, heritage, and quiet strength—capturing not only a royal presence, but a deeply human one.
