Many of the photographs here were the first of my career and filled my portfolio in the 60's.

An assistant's wages were low, but my boss JC made up for it by allowing free film, paper and use of the studio. I made the most of his generosity in the evenings when I would take shots for my portfolio and for the model girls who came to see us.

After a couple of trips to Milan with JC I decided to stay there shooting for Italian fashion magazines.

a tribute to the
wonderful 60's
when I had some
of the happiest
days of my life

young assistant
in London.

of the time.
Clients included
Vogue, Queen,
and Harpers.

fame in the 60's

Hemmings, Vanessa
Redgrave and
Sarah Miles.
