You may not know this, but Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton worked briefly as a photographer before marrying into royalty and becoming a princess.
During the much-publicized trip she took with Prince William to Southeast Asia and the South Pacific earlier this year, she shot a series of landscape pictures of the Borneo jungle in Malaysia.
Capturing the dense beauty and majesty of the rainforest,—one of the richest and oldest in the world—these photographs were quickly published by the world’s major news outlets.
If you are a budding photographer who wishes to get your pictures out there, it certainly helps to be royalty.
