Best known for his portraits of the British Royal Family – including official images of the late Queen Elizabeth that were released for her 90th birthday, Platinum Jubilee, and state funeral – Ranald’s prestigious portfolio of clients also includes sporting superstars, politicians, actors and Apollo astronauts.

Ranald has also worked extensively in the UAE, capturing official images of many of the country’s most pre-eminent figures.

He says – “I love being a photographer. It has been an incredible privilege to have spent my life photographing amazing people all over the world. Every time I pick up my camera it is my aim to create a portrait that is worthy of hanging on a gallery wall.”
