Professor John Hedgecoe, professional photographer and author of more than 30 "how to" books on photography, died on Thursday 3rd June.
Hedgecoe's work was published in The Times, Observer Magazine, Vogue, Life, and Marie-Claire, but his most familiar image is also the world's most reproduced photograph - the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that appears on UK and Commonwealth postage stamps.
His most recent book, The Art of Digital Photography, was published by Dorling Kindersley in 2006.
Hedgecoe also established the department of photography at the Royal College of Art and was subsequently awarded the honour of being the first Professor of Photography in England, a post he held until 1994, and was Professor Emeritus until his death.
