On the right is a shot of Nicola I took as part of her very first shoot with me. It was chosen by Ray Hollingsworth for the cover of his poetry book "Blueprint for Life".

Linda and I and Nic and her parents enjoyed a wonderful evening at the book launch and signing - where Ray explained how he trawled through 7000 face shots online until finding this one. No shortlist or second thoughts, straight to negotiation and agreement.

Keep an eye out for this book:

Classic Glamour Photography

Techniques of The Top Glamour Photographers.

by Duncan Evans and Iain Banks and note it is the revised edition published April 2003 in New York by Amphoto Books.

The English version is produced by Quarto Publishing, London N7 9BH

The cover shot is by Jan Cobb and my work, which is reproduced below, appears first in the book.

I am needless to say very pleased to be in this book and my thanks go to Duncan for all his efforts in bringing the project to fruition for me.
