Bodnar was awarded the honour in recognition of his continued patronage as a photographer to Prince Charles.<\/p>\n<p>?I am delighted,? said Bodnar who added: ?I read AP and always have done. I also like the classified section to keep up to date with prices.? <\/p>\n<p>Bodnar &#8211; whose photography is based mainly within the music and entertainment industry ? said that he exclusively uses Sigma lenses because he finds the range of lenses ?second to none?. <\/p>\n<p>As well as shooting portraits of the Royal family, George?s work gives him access to celebrities attending events such as film premieres and shows such as Party in the Park.<\/p>\n<p>Bodnar is also official photographer for the charities Comic Relief and Sport Relief. <\/p>\n<p>His famous subjects have ranged from singers such as Celine Dion and Tom Jones to celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and cricketer Darren Gough. <\/p>\n<p>The picture (above) was captured at the premiere of the film <i>Moulin Rouge<\/i>. It shows Prince Charles, while looking on are Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor and the movie?s producer Baz Luhrmann.<\/p>\n<p>To see some more of Bodnar?s work visit www.gbimages.com or www.sigma-imaging-uk.com\/profusers\/george_bodnar\/gallery.htm<\/p>\n<p>Picture credit: George Bodnar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dedicated AP reader George Bodnar has just been granted a rare Royal Warrant by the Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n<p>Picture credit: George Bodnar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":28926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-28925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AP reader granted rare Royal Warrant - Amateur Photographer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dedicated AP reader George Bodnar has just been granted a rare Royal Warrant by the Prince of Wales.
