Photographer #11: Brian Duffy

 (15 June 1933 – 31 May 2010)

Also known as "the man who shot the sixties,"Brian Duffy was an English photographer and film producer, best remembered for his fashion photography of the 1960s and 1970s, iconic Vidal Sassoon takes of hairstyle model Frankie Stein amongst many others, and his creation of the iconic “Aladdin Sane” image for David Bowie. It was said that he really put a hype on fashion photography. To me, his work is just extremely unique from his color assortment in photos, to the originality of his compositions. Duffy was quoted saying “The thing about the photograph is that theres’s no smell and in a sense it tells the truth and yet it is a lie”
