An intimate portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the pivotal private audiences with her prime ministers.

My creative direction is an austere and intimate approach that captures both the grandeur of institution and private moments of a young queen coming to terms with her historic role. The result is a sophisticated visual narrative that communicates both the gravity of these historic meetings and the rare glimpse we're offered into this very private world. Photos: Brave Lux & Brett Beiner.

The visual direction embraces authentic British design principles, including an authentic primary typeface, Gill Sans - The typeface of British railways for nearly a century. Every design element - from the austere typography to the regal portraiture - works in concert to convey elegance, institutional authority, and feels quintessentially British.
