Anwar Hussein (born 1938) is 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]
