Most photographed person

[Dom Tuk]

Who holds the distinction of having been photographed the most. needless to say it will be a celebrity or a politician but how could we clarify who has been done the most number of times.

[Ceh]

You might have to do some searching but, I think they have a Guinness World Record for it.

I'd have a guess at Princess Di

[wellhungjock]

The Queen she�s been around a long time.

Impossible, Dom Tuk. Look at any press conference with, say, Tony Blair and you'll see dozens of flashes going off. That's dozens in 10 seconds or so. How many thousands in a week, millions in a year, and that's just one person?

[jake-the-peg]

Don't know but I believe the most recognised face is that of Albert Einstein just in front of Adolf Hitler

[graemer]

Agree mongos bird. Don't know how to verify it but I'm sure I read Diana was the most photographed person in the world. I remember an amazing photo of her in italy or spain surrounded by thousands of people, press and public, who all seemed to have cameras.

Mmm.  Yes, the Queen is a good one, as she has been one of the few famous people photographed all through the progressions of photography over many decades - what I mean is, she started being photographed when comparatively few people had a camera, right up to now when lots of people take photos on mobiles, AND she's been similarly treated in many countries of the world.. ..AND often photographed many times over  by the same people on every occasion they have seen her during her/their lives....that's apart from the official and paparazzi news photos.  Then there's the newsreel films, the videos .... !!!     Other people I can think of were photographed a lot for a shorter time and often the same photos of them were used over and over.  Also ordinary people wouldn't have had access however long they had lived.  The Queen appears in many photos taken of other people- her family, visiting dignatatories, etc.  wellhungjock has got it I think.

I see what you mean by the queen. however while the press and papparazzi make take many pictures per second of these celebreties, they develop very few of them into actual photographs printed on paper. I would reckon of a 100 shots only 2-3 make it on to paper. However if they were taken by the general public then a vast majority would be actually developed into a full fledged photo. So while we may see the flaslight popping all around the Blairs and the Tom cruises....little of it makes it on to tangible pictures. So by this reckoning, the queen will still rank very high among the list but i would like to consider others who are likely to be photographed more by the public.

I seem to remember reading a few years ago that 2% of all photographs taken in America have featured Mickey Mouse.

I'd have to say Michael Jackson not gonna lie but he is the KING of pop

[terror]

What about Michael Jackson.. Just a thought.. He is the king of pop.

[terror]

I'm just throw Michael Jackson in there he is the KING of pop.
