Photographer Harry Borden recently captured portraits of Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, amidst a flurry of media attention. Spencer was promoting his memoir, Swan Song, which delved into Diana's life and sparked controversy over allegations regarding King Charles's reaction to her death. Despite initial warnings from others about Spencer's perceived difficulty, Borden found him to be a pleasant and cooperative subject.

Utilizing natural light and his Fujifilm GFX 50S camera, Borden managed to create a series of distinctive images, proving that even in tight time constraints, a skilled photographer can produce exceptional results.
