This is an impressive collection of classic portraits, featuring people from all avenues of life - stars of stage and screen, musicians, politicians, authors, artists, and royalty. Throughout his working life, John Hedgecoe has photographed key figures of the day, from Augustus John and Chagall to David Hockney, Mary Quant and Germaine Greer. His technical skill and unerring ability to capture the essence of the sitter in a single frame have brought him tremendous critical acclaim.
