In Photography, Family Matters
In anticipation of our original telefilm, We’ll Take Manhattan, our friends at VandM.com suggested this book about Brian Duffy, a contemporary of David Bailey.
One of fashion photographer Brian Duffy’s most famous shots appears on the cover of David Bowie’s album Aladdin Sane. In the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of “The Terrible Three,” the British press’s name for Duffy, David Bailey and Terence Donovan. The trio revolutionized photography by rejecting traditional 1950s portraiture and pushing their own star status as much as that of the models and celebrities they captured on film, including Jean Shrimpton, Sidney Poitier, Nina Simone, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Charlton Heston. Brian’s son Chris Duffy has written Duffy: In His Own Words a 208-page tribute that includes rare photographs from the archives of French Elle and British Vogue. (Brian Duffy father notoriously burned many precious negatives in 1979, making these photographs extremely rare.) Available through Amazon.
