威廉王子訂婚照拍攝神祕花絮

The comfortable poses in Prince William and Kate Middleton's official engagement photographs were captured by invoking the mood at a shoot with Princess Diana, photographer Mario Testino has said. The Peruvian took two pictures - one formal and the other more casual - of the couple at St James' Palace, looking very much in love and 'brimming with happiness'.
　　凱特與威廉王子的訂婚照一經與公衆見面，便贏得了衆人的喝彩，特別是這對新人站在一間起居室的窗前，威廉身穿品牌爲Turnbell Asser的白色襯衫擁抱着凱特的非正式訂婚照更加吸引着粉絲的目光。據悉，這一組照片全部是來自於攝影大師，也是英國皇室的“御用攝影師”Mario Testino 之手，這張在聖·詹姆斯宮拍攝的訂婚照讓凡是看過的人都洋溢在一股幸福之中。

The well-known photographer, who created some of the most enduring images of William's late mother, has now revealed the relaxed portraits were taken with the help of music used while taking portraits of Diana. The tracks, from French singer Dalida, were played as the Prince and his fiancée posed together shortly after their engagement was announced in November.

據悉，Mario Testino 不但是最有聲望的攝影師，不但著名雜誌VOGUE和各大時尚品牌是他的客戶，Mario Testino 也是英國皇室的“最愛”。這位攝影師爲英國皇室“效力”的歷史可以追溯到“戴安娜王妃”時期。據悉，戴安娜王妃1997年的《名利場》封面就是攝影師Mario Testino 的得意之作。據透露，Mario Testino 在給威廉和凱特拍攝訂婚照時，這對新人剛開始還顯得特別拘謹，爲了使得他們拍照更加放鬆，Mario Testino在拍攝過程中播放戴安娜王妃生前在拍攝中喜愛的音樂，果不其然，威廉和凱特聽到媽媽生前熟悉的音樂放鬆下來，照片拍攝情況大好！

Though members of the Royal Family are used to being photographed, even they must feel completely comfortable in order to look their best, Testino told US Vogue.'The contrast of the contemporary informal music playing in the beautiful rooms with so much history caused a lot of laughter,' he added.

攝影大師Mario Testino對媒體說：“雖然皇室成員對攝像頭已經習以爲常、見怪不怪了，但是爲了拍攝出最好的照片，還需要鼓勵他們在拍攝中儘可能放鬆。在嚴肅的聖·詹姆斯宮殿內播放很輕鬆地音樂，或者說他們母親熟悉的音樂可以創造出意想不到的化學效果，威廉和凱特都覺得十分好笑。”
