Burnand won his first photography content at Cheam School (the same Hampshire prep school attended by the King and the Prince Philip) aged just seven, after receiving a camera from his grandmother for his birthday. He went on to Harrow, where he took photographic portraits of school-leavers, before working as a stable hand and an insurance broker at Lloyds of London.

He turned to photography professionally aged 27, memorably capturing the likes of Sienna Miller, Boy George with Margaret Thatcher, and John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as Tatler’s Bystander photographer. He also became a firm favourite with the Royal Family, capturing birthday portraits and magazine spreads for the likes of the King and Queen Consort, Princess Anne and Zara Tindall.

The photographer previously revealed a number of secrets to getting the best photographs possible, including ‘bowls full of jelly beans’ for flower girls and page boys. He told Tatler, ‘Being a chatterbox helps, as it keeps the people you are photographing engaged, and if you are talking it stops them talking which is essential – so I guess I chatted a lot that day!’
