Crossword Genius

Fellow with TV spots royal photographer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snowdon

'royal photographer' is the definition.
(Earl of Snowdon, photographer of the Royal Family)

'fellow with tv spots' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'don' (I've seen this before**).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'tv spots' becomes 'snow' (snow can refer to spots of static on a TV screen).
'don' after 'snow' is 'SNOWDON'.

(Other definitions for snowdon that I've seen before include "Highest Welsh peak" , "Highest peak in Wales" , "that is looked up to in Wales" , "High spot in Wales" , "Highest point of England and Wales" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
