During this time he worked for major British and international magazines including Vogue  Marie Claire  Harpers Bazaar and Elle. Donovan undertook numerous private portrait commissions  photographing public figures from the worlds of the arts  politics and business  in addition to members of the British Royal family; his many sitters include Yasser Arafat  Naomi Campbell  Sean Connery  Diana Princess of Wales  Laurence Olivier and Charlotte Rampling. Along with his iconic portraits  this book features unseen work from Donovans archive  never previously published or exhibited. It also reproduces magazine spreads  contact sheets and pages from diaries and daybooks--rare ephemera that provide a unique insight into Donovans working practice. Terence Daniel Donovan (193696) was born in the East End of London and took his first photo at the age of 15. The bomb-damaged industrial landscape of his hometown became the backdrop of much of his fashion photography  and he set the trend for positioning fashion models in stark and gritty urban environments. Along with David Bailey and Brian Duffy  he captured  and in many ways helped create  the Swinging London of the 1960s. Donovans passion for photography remained constant throughout his long career. In 1963 he told a young Jean Shrimpton that photography fascinates me. Instant fascination every time. When the fascination leaves me  Ill give it up. As it never did  neither did he.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279556239413,"sku":"ByrdShop_886208482X","price":1952.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788862084826.jpg?v=1780602178","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/terence-donovan-portraits-9788862084826","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
