Thanks! I’m happy with ALT1. I couldn’t figure out a way to use the title naturally as the title of the article isn’t really the name of the photograph just an identifier - hence why I didn’t bold it in the lede. This looks good though. Vladimir.copic (talk) 22:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: * ... that the BBC commissioned a painting of a 1987 Bullingdon Club photograph featuring David Cameron and Boris Johnson to circumvent copyright protection?
