A renowned American photographer has shot Ed Sheeran at a Norfolk beauty spot to help promote his new album.

Annie Leibovitz shot the singer at Fritton Lake, near Great Yarmouth, to coincide with his latest album announcement. 

The photographer has shot many famous faces including two portraits of the Queen.

She is also known for her polaroid photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, taken five hours before the former Beatles' murder. The photo is considered one of Rolling Stone magazine's most famous cover images.

Ed Sheeran was spotted last year shooting a music video for a track on his new album on a Lowestoft beach.

The Bad Habits singer was spotted sitting on a piece of driftwood, surrounded by a production crew, security and extras for the filming - against the backdrop of early morning dog walkers and a handful of people.

The world-famous artist moved to Framlingham as a youngster and continues to live near the east Suffolk town.

His sixth studio album titled 'Subtract' will be released on May 5, and is said to be a return to his singer-songwriter roots after his last few pop-heavy albums.
