This is my favorite Sam Taylor-Wood image. The photograph titled, Looking Out, features Thandie Newton as a solitary figure sitting in the picture gallery at Althorp House, ancestral home to the Spencers and final resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales. Taylor-Wood says she wanted someone who was achingly beautiful within an achingly beautiful environment.
