Chris Jackson shared his favorites of the Queen.
He took a picture of her at the Royal Ascot and at Trooping the Colour.
For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth was in charge. She passed away on Thursday.
Chris Jackson took the photo while Queen Elizabeth was in the hospital.
Chris Jackson told Insider that photographing the Queen is like photographing a famous person. "If the light falls in the right way, or you get a slightly unexpected expression, you can take a photograph that stays in the archives."
During Queen Elizabeth's visit to the opening of a maternity ward at a hospital in England, Jackson noticed the soft lighting and clean background.
The Queen was looking up at the nurses and doctors. It's a bit unusual for me. I like that it makes me happy.
"It's almost cliché to say, but she does really light up when she's around horses," Jackson said of Queen Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth became the first monarch in 202 years to win the Gold Cup when Estimate crossed the finish line.
Jackson said that it was a big ambition of hers. She's very interested in horses. Since she was given a horse at the age of 4, it has been an important part of her life. She was handed the trophy and you could see that she was happy. She lit up and it looked like gold on her face.
Jackson took a picture of Queen Elizabeth visiting a memorial for fallen soldiers.
There were ceramic flowers at the Tower of London that represented fallen soldiers.
"Remembering and looking back at those who've made the ultimate sacrifice is a key part of her duty and one of the most important dates in the royal calendar," Jackson said. It was special to capture something that showed how important that is to the Queen.
He took pictures of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince George at a charity event.
He said that Prince George was in the middle of mixing Christmas pudding. Everyone seems to be quite relaxed. The heirs to the throne and the Queen are depicted in this picture. It was a rare chance to take all four of them together.
Jackson timed the photo of Queen Elizabeth just right.
Jackson liked the idea of using a slower shutter speed to capture the soldiers parading past the queen. It's rare for me to get the chance to do something a little bit different and create something that is slightly more unusual. It's got a bit of energy with the movement to it, and I like it.
Jackson has published two books with his pictures of the royals.
