Royal watchers have seen plenty of pictures of the family lately, from Duchess Kate's underwater adventures to Prince Charles' great reactions to sweet shots of the youngest members.

But a new series of royal portraits show Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and others as we've never seen them before.

The striking images, taken by British photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas, show members of the royal household from several angles at once, decked out in formal garb and set against a stark black backdrop.

The photos are part of an exhibit called "The Queen's People."

"Unlike anything that’s been done before, the subjects were placed in a corner of mirrors, and positioned in a way that reflects multiple angles and views of their dress all at once," reads a description from Eleven Fine Art, the museum that will host the exhibit starting Aug. 19.

"It was a privilege to photograph Her Majesty and other members of the Royal Family and to blend the history and traditions of Royal life with a modern photographic style," Thomas explained in a statement. "I hope people will enjoy seeing these photographs as much as I enjoyed making them."

In this handout provided by Royal Household, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall poses for a portrait taken by British photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas with a technique that involves the use of a mirror to show each sitter from all four sides (front, back and both profiles) on June 02, 2015. The Duchess of Cornwall is wearing formal attire, designed by Bruce Oldfield, as previously worn on the occasion of her speech at The Royal Academy of Arts for the Academy's Annual Dinner in celebration of the Summer Exhibition. The sash and Honours are the Dame Grand Cross of the Victorian Order as presented to Her RH by HM The Queen. The brooch is The Queen's family Order and was given to Her RH on her 60th Birthday. All other pieces of jewellery are private family pieces. The pictures form part of an exhibition which will open later this month at Eleven Fine Art, in Pimlico, London, which features other pictures taken of individuals with Royal Appointments.
