I was at the private view of the new Norman Parkinson exhibition last night at the National Theatre as a guest of Elegantly Papered and I couldn’t resist a photograph of Princess Anne & Maggie Smith mingling with a guest.
I think it’s fair to say that Norman Parkinson is the Godfather of modern fashion photography so we were looking forward to this exhibition. It was a really interesting show ...
I was photographing in Paris, as you do, in Palais de Tuileries, as you do, and I loved the effortless cool of these teenagers turning up and shooting some fashion.
80’s jumper, tick, cigarette, tick, chic model, tick, lack of stress, tick and of course some fella snoozing on the grass after lunch.
It all seemed so relaxed and everyday ...
New image shot this week. Styled by Michelle Collett with Dani Ogilvie doing the makeup and hair and the model was Adeele from Models 1. Thanks also to Kevin Moran and Sophie Ramiz who were helping out on the shoot.
