Synopsis

“It was a pleasure meeting you in all your Highland glory.” —The Queen to Ian, 1987.

“Get out of the way, don’t ruin Ian’s photograph,” The Queen teased her dog as it wandered into the frame.

"Ian, my wife and I will treasure the photographs you gave to us and to Canada. What a talent."
His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, CC, CMM, COM, CD. Governor General of Canada (2010-2017)

“It is a privilege to witness history and see it through the eyes of someone with both the skill and sensitivity to capture its special moments. Each photo offers a glimpse not only of a remarkable monarch but also of the enduring human qualities—strength, warmth, humour, and dignity—that made her such an extraordinary person.” Honorary Colonel (Ret.) Mike Scott, CM, CD, The 48th Highlanders of Canada

For more than four decades, one Canadian photographer has enjoyed extraordinary, unparalleled access to the heart of the Royal Family.

Queen Elizabeth II: A Photographer's Four Decades with the Crown offers a rare and deeply personal perspective—an intimate collection of never-before-seen photographs and candid behind-the-scenes stories.

Experience the monarchy through the eyes of a trusted insider, tracing the photographer’s journey from childhood fascination to close friendships with key figures of the royal household. Step behind the lens as he recounts remarkable encounters and historic commissions, including Her Majesty’s official portrait marking the 70th anniversary of her role as Colonel-in-Chief of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, and the iconic image celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, viewed around the world.

Discover the stories behind his celebrated images of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Princess Margaret, the former Duke and Duchess of York, Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla and an image used by personal permission of The King. His pictures are in the personal collections of members of the Royal Family, the Royal Collection Trust, and government and veterans' buildings.

More than a photographic archive, this is a definitive visual tribute—a powerful celebration of a legendary monarch and the photographer whose lifelong devotion captured her family’s most enduring moments.
