The World’s Most Photographed explores the photographic imagery of ten figures from history. Photography is key to our perception of world leaders and international film stars alike, but this book demonstrates how well known or notorious figures – from Queen Victoria to Muhammad Ali – have manipulated the medium with lasting effect and, in the case of Adolf Hitler, with devastating impact.

By unearthing pictures of these men and women which have previously been lost, suppressed or hidden, the book provides an in-depth exploration of how photography has been used throughout history in the pursuit of fame and power: how it has been controlled and managed in the creation of pin-ups such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley; how Mahatma Ghandi used it in a sophisticated way to create an image of simplicity and integrity which would help to undermine the British Empire; and how it was turned into a sinister tool of mass manipulation by Adolf Hitler as he launched his deadly assault on humanity.
