Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy is recognised as one of the innovators of documentary fashion photography, a style which revolutionised the industry. Their attitude and aesthetic iconified the scene, birthing the cult of the fashion photographer and inspiring the famous film Blow-Up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966). As Duffy put it, Before 1960, a fashion photographer was tall, thin and camp. But we three are different: short, fat and heterosexual! The press nicknamed the three photographers The Terrible Three, while Norman Parkinson added to their notoriety by naming them The Black Trinity. Duffys most famous photograph is the Mona Lisa of pop, the cover of Bowies Aladdin Sane. He collaborated with the artist over eight years and exerted a direct influence on the numerous reinventions of Bowies image. It is fitting, therefore, that this new edition should expand on their work together with new images. This new edition ofDuffy also features other, new images from the photographers archive, depicting both star and photographer in their prime.
