Artist sues for co-author credit on Chris Levine’s queen portraits

Exclusive: Ben Munday claims he is co-creator of 2004 images but Levine has called him only a collaborator

An artist who claims he is a co-creator of two of the most famous images ever taken of the late queen is suing Chris Levine, the photographer who claims sole authorship of the portraits, in a high court dispute.

Ben Munday claims he is a co-author of two 2004 portraits of the queen that were created using holography technology, which involves the use of light projection and multiple cameras to render a 3D image.
