Patrick Anson, known professionally by the name of his inherited earldom, was born in 1939. After serving in the British Army for three years beginning in 1959, Lichfield started his career as a photographer's assistant before establishing his own reputation independently. He championed digital photography, adopting the medium quickly and pioneering its eventual acceptance as the professional standard. Known for his portraits of high society, Lichfield's aristocratic upbringing-his mother was Princess Anne of Denmark-afforded him access to the British Royal Family. He was the official photographer at the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer in 1981.
