Anwar Hussein (3 November 1938 – 23 September 2024) was a Tanganyika-born British photojournalist and author. In 2016, he became the longest-serving photographer covering the British royal family and Queen Elizabeth II. He changed perceptions of the royal family through shooting casual photographs instead of formal portrait photography.[1] Elizabeth II and The Queen Mother used his photographs on their Christmas cards.[2]
Two of Hussein's sons became royal photographers working independently of him.[2]
Anwar Hussein died after a long illness on 23 September 2024, at the age of 85.[3]
