When I discovered them again between shoots, exhibitions and the whirlwind of the photography world. I realised how sensual and slightly androgynous the model is who I think is called Mona but I am not 100 percent sure.
Face lift photos for Hearst Magazines
I shot these phots on a Linhof 5×4 plate camera for Hearst Magazines – it was a story about the…
Charlotte Rampling – Vogue September 1970 and Harpers (early 90s)
Even when I asked her if I could pour water over her head. She said yes and then my assistant was duly instructed to stand on a tall ladder and sprinkle water over her.

The Rhodes to Zandra: Part One
Zandra is a major talent as well as being a very bright, approachable and affable lady.

I recommend you go along and see the gowns in real life, I say this unreservedly the gowns are works of art.

The Many Beautiful Faces of Greta Scacchi – Actress, Model & Sublime Narrator
Greta looked amazing in this Anthony Price dress. When I explained to her, the concept behind the shoot being women who could have married Prince Charles she burst out laughing and I took this picture.
