Name claim photo acclaim..

To continue my forty years as a priofessional photographer rectrospective - photo'versary theme, here's a not very comprehensive list of some of the better known names I have photographed during the recent 4 decades. To make the list - I decided that all the names included had to be photo subjects where the shoot has been a one to one at some point throught our meeting and that I had to have been the sole photographer in the room and as such I had enjoed a conversation with the hoto subject, also I remember the shoot clearly. Which is why HM Queen Elizabeth II is not included - despite having photographed her mutiple times. The list is far from comprehensive, it's sole aim is to, hopefully, point at some the fun I've enoyed over the first part of my career, so here goes in no logiacal order :
