Duffy - (15 June 1933 – 31 May 2010)

Duffy’s cutting-edge photography documents the vibrancy of “the Swinging 60’s” London scene when the city was at the height of cool and places him in the photographic history books as one of the UK’s most respected photographers.

Duffy's Story

In the late seventies, Duffy stopped taking stills and moved onto commercials, never to return to the stills camera again. In the following years, Duffy became reclusive and refused to give interviews or talk about his time at the top as a photographer.

During the 90’s Duffy’s son Chris became frustrated that Duffy’s name was slowly slipping into obscurity and regularly tried to persuade him to do something with his remaining archive. It wasn’t until 2006 when Duffy was diagnosed with the degenerative lung disease Pulmonary Fibrosis that he finally gave Chris the green light to start putting the archive together. The process was a labour of love for the first few years. Organising, scanning and databasing what remained took many hours whilst Chris was running his video production company. In 2009 the opportunity to exhibit at Chris Beetles Gallery in Mayfair London gave Duffy the platform for his first ever exhibition and this was hailed with great critical acclaim. The exhibition ignited an incredible interest in his work and there were regular queues around the block. During the process of putting the exhibition together, the BBC commissioned a documentary on Duffy’s life and work which aired in 2010. Chris then started on the first monograph but sadly Duffy was never to see this and passed away on 31st May 2010. Since 2010 Duffy’s work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world. In 2013 the Victoria and Albert Museum approached the archive to request use of his Aladdin Sane image as the lead image for the ‘David Bowie is’ exhibition. This show has been the V&A’s fastest selling exhibition reaching over 2 million visitors on its world tour. Duffy’s name has now become recognised by an international audience and his name is now firmly back on the map. In 2014 Duffy’s second book was released – ‘Duffy Bowie: Five Sessions’ which covers the back story to his work with David Bowie. Written by Chris Duffy and Kevin Cann the book explores the chemistry and creation of these five iconic sets of images illustrated with interviews from people who were directly involved. For more information click here. The archive is made up of negatives, vintage prints, modern prints and contact sheets that were held by the family and other material retrieved from numerous UK and International magazines and newspapers such as Vogue, French Elle, Glamour, The Sunday Times and The Telegraph as well as those stored from commissions of glossy magazines such as Queen, Town & London Life. The process of exhibiting Duffy’s work continues and the future holds several more book projects illuminating Duffy’s eclectic and influential work.

This shoot in Morocco for French Elle Magazine was titled “Les Trois Magiciennes” and published on this day in 1962. The article describes this cape as having an otter collar. Elle printed instructions and a pattern so that the reader could sew the cape and suggested that the garment could be dressed up or down with the right accessories.⁠

In February of 1979, Duffy shot his fourth of five sessions with Bowie for the cover of the Lodger album. To create this particular shot, Duffy positioned himself high in the studio rafters while Bowie reclined on a bench below.  Wires were attached to his face and gently pulled to distort his features, creating the illusion of a falling man. Chris Duffy has remastered the negative for today’s Halloween feature. The archive team wishes everyone a Happy Halloween!⁠

Wishing Bowie’s longtime friend Clare Shenstone a very Happy Birthday today.  Clare is a hugely talented artist working in several mediums. Francis Bacon recognised her talent when he saw her degree exhibition at the Royal College of Art and commissioned one of her artworks, and he sat for her over several years, becoming her mentor and friend. Clare knew Bowie from early on in his career and was a witness at his wedding to Angie. In later years, she was commissioned to design one of his birthday invitations. Photo taken by Chris Duffy in her London studio in 2019.⁠

Duffy shot this image on this day for French Elle in 1964 with the model Ina Balke. The white trouser suit is by Andres Courreges, famed for his ‘space age’ fashion. The large holdall travel bag is the famed Hermes Haute A Courroies, which first appeared in 1892 and went on to influence the design of the Kelly bag and, thereafter, the Birkin bag.⁠

Today would have been the birthday of the prolific stage and screen actor Kenneth More. The photo was taken in 1960 for a Vogue fashion article titled ‘I don't know about fashion, but I know what I like’. In 1969, he appeared in Duffy’s production of ‘Oh! What a Lovely War'. The Kenneth More Theatre, named in his honour, was founded in 1975 in Ilford, East London.⁠

THE Goodwood Revival event this weekend reminded us of this photograph held in the archive of a group of young 1940s enthusiasts from Essex featured in the Sunday Times Magazine in April 1976 for an article titled 'Back In The Mood.' Under the guidance of DJ Chris Hall, the legendary Gold Mine venue in Canvey Island became an unexpected hub for the 1940s dance revival.⁠

Today we received the sad news that pop artist Derek Boshier died yesterday. Derek worked with Duffy and Bowie on the Lodger album cover. Over the last decade we were able to visit him, film him and enjoy his company. Periodically we exchanged postcards and his were always a delight to receive. He was an amazing talent, generous with his time and we will miss him. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and all that knew him. Rest in peace dear Derek.

Today is Mike Sarne’s birthday, and the archive recently curated our collection of Duffy-signed vintage portraits and rediscovered these portraits, which were taken in 1962 for Town Magazine.  This was the same year Mike’s hit single ‘Come Outside’ spent two weeks at number 1 in the UK charts. Mike later pursued a career in acting with roles in The Avengers and Minder. He is also a writer, director, and producer. Contact the Duffy Archive for print purchase information.

It's the weekend, a time to relax and unwind! In the 1970s, Duffy took several photos for the Smirnoff Vodka Campaign, using the slogan 'Well, they said anything could happen' One of these images was the 1978 UBoat shot in Los Angeles which provided Duffy with the enjoyable challenge of working with an elaborate set and technical effects before digital editing became the norm.⁠

This image, shot for August for the 1973 Pirelli calendar, was considered too risqué to be published and was Pirelli's first photograph ever to be withdrawn. The ice cream dripping down the model's breasts was removed, and Philip Castle selected and airbrushed an alternative image. The 1973 calendar is still considered to be one of the most fetish calendars produced by Pirelli. ⁠

Today, Labour returned to power after a 14-year hiatus. This 1966 portrait is of former Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who was elected twice, in 1964-1970 and again between 1974-76. The photograph was commissioned by the Labour Party and shows Harold Wilson with a clenched fist, perhaps to indicate strength. The session was shot at 10 Downing Street. Duffy received a personal thank you - slide over to view the letter.

Commemorating the memory of Francis Wyndham, a renowned novelist, on what would have been his 100th birthday. Throughout his illustrious career, he served as the editor for Queen Magazine and collaborated with Duffy for the first time at the Sunday Times magazine. Their joint effort resulted in a feature with the talented young actor, Michael Caine. These remarkable images were published in November 1964. In 1966, Wyndham and Duffy embarked on a journey to Mexico to document the making of two films: 'Viva Maria,' featuring Brigette Bardot, and 'Tarzan and the City of Gold,' starring Mike Henry and Nancy Kovak. ⁠

Brian Aris was showing his Rolling Stones photography with Lucy Bell, Jan Burghardt with Camera Work Gallery, Berlin, Fenton Bailey of Camera Eye exhibiting Bailey’s work, Geoff McCormack exhibiting with Lucy Bell, Gered Mankowitz there with Iconic Images along with Terence Pepper also with Iconic, and celebrity photographer Richard Young. A special thank you to Peter Fetterman for personally carrying a signed copy of Michael Kenna’s stunning new book for Chris from the US. We met George Kocis at the Staley Wise Gallery and put a face to a name, and the same was true for Sebastian Alderete at The Music Photo Gallery.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

A three-day weekend is the perfect time to take an E-Type Jaguar classic car out for a spin! This stylish convertible vehicle was the first off the production line and was driven straight from the Vogue photoshoot on the M1 Motorway to the Motor Show in Geneva in 1961.
