Lewis Morley

Another cameraman who finally hung his lens up last year was Lewis Morley, who died aged 88 in September. He was the creator of many famous images of the 60s, including the infamous one of Christine Keeler, in 1963, whose story is being sung in the latest Lloyd Webber musical, 'Stephen Ward'. Ward was the English osteopath involved in the Profumo Affair,  also recounted in the film, 'Scandal', (in which Ward is played by John Hurt).In the same year as the film, 1989, there was a retrospective of  Morley's work at the National Portrait Gallery, after which the famous chair  was kept in the gallery for many years. Morley himself saw the photo as a millstone, but reprinted it to please others, one print made in 1996 was re-sold at auction in 2006 for £22,800.


      However, Morley recreated the same pose with perhaps less famous effect using David Frost, Joe Orton and Dame Edna Everage.
