About the artist
Brian Duffy, one of the photographers who defined London's 1960s look, captured the vibrant essence of the city's "Swinging 60s" scene. Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, they were dubbed the "Black Trinity" by well known photographer Norman Parkinson. As photographers elevated to celebrity status, Duffy, known only by his surname, established himself as one of the UK's respected photographers. Born in London in 1933 to Irish parents, Duffy experienced evacuation during World War II, attending St. Martins School of Art and later excelling in fashion photography at Vogue and French Elle. His work gained recognition through iconic campaigns like Benson & Hedges and Smirnoff. Duffy's collaboration with David Bowie, particularly the Aladdin Sane album cover, became legendary. Additionally, he shot three Pirelli calendars and his photography has been exhibited worldwide, cementing his influence in the field.
