Photographer, Samir Hussein explained what happened the night he captured that photo in a statement released to Vogue.
It was pouring down with rain, which can be very tricky when shooting flash photography. [It] also meant Harry and Meghan would be under an umbrella, which usually means it’s hard to get clean photos of the couple.After talking to the Sussexes’ press officer, Hussein says he learned Harry and Meghan would be dropped off about 30 feet from the entrance of Mansion House, where the event was being held. He went into the photographer’s pen and positioned himself the best he could.
As they walked toward me, I noticed a flash going off from a camera in the crowd behind them. I knew that if that light could be lined up to be right behind as they walked, then it could create a dramatic photo, acting like a backlight in a studio shot. I managed to manoeuvre myself to line up the flash behind them and then had to work quickly, with just a second or two to get the shot as they smiled wonderfully at each other.
However, the royal photographer didn't know that he had captured anything magical until he downloaded the photos onto his laptop and found the — now iconic — photo. 'It’s a one in a million, when all the elements you could wish for as a photographer come together — perfect timing, great lighting, strong symbolism, and amazing subjects,' he explains.
Well, we're so pleased that everything aligned in that moment, because it's a picture that you just can't help but smile at.
