After his photo of a Tory aide\u2019s notes on Brexit grabbed headlines around the country, photographer Steve Back has revealed that he tried to tell her to cover her folder before snapping his now-famous shot.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Press Gazette<\/em><\/a>, Back \u2013 who runs the Political Pictures photo agency – recounted his attempt to warn the politicians, including the chief of staff to Mark Field MP, walking towards Number 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw four people come out of Number 9 and recognized one of them as Mark Field. I was shouting at her to put her notes away. They were laughing and that\u2019s what drew my attention to them. They took no notice of me at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The journalists and photographers had been waiting for the arrival of the Polish prime minister when the gaffe occurred. According to Back, there are a number of notices on Downing Street warning politicians to take care with their documents in the face of the press.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, he told the BBC\u2019s Laura Kuenssberg that he\u2019s been \u201ctelling them for years\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Back won a British Journalism Award for capturing then-minister Oliver Letwin dumping political documents in a park bin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
