Ghislaine 'took artistic pornographic photos'
The Observer
|February 01, 2026
In the vast trove of emails and photographs relating to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein released on Friday, one image stands out: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on all fours over a woman lying on the floor.
The photograph emblazoned across newspapers and news websites this weekend is one of the odder images in the archive documenting Epstein's life.
It is not clear who took the photograph of Mountbatten-Windsor, but Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted associate and former girlfriend, has played a pivotal role in amassing this vivid, often devastating collection.
"She was a good photographer and had a fantastic setup," said Juan Alessi, a former Epstein employee, in evidence at Maxwell's 2021 trial in New York.
"She took pictures of everything." Maxwell would use a commercial printer at her home to make thumbprints of the thousands of photographs, which were then saved digitally and kept at her New York residence. The collection of more than 180,000 images and 2,000 videos released last week - many of which Maxwell took - is now potentially toxic for those once in Epstein's circle.
