“I’ve got the first picture I think Jean Shrimpton ever had done-in a jeans shop window in the Edgware Road. I never thought my photos would be important.I just thought they were ephemera, that’s what snaps were. Like newspapers for wrapping fish and chips in, that’s why I considered myself a tradesman. Now we’re considered Artists" - Brian Duffy

“Duffy was one of the most talented and acclaimed photographers who helped define the Swinging Sixties. I remember that era so well as every Saturday I would stroll down the King’s Road trying to believe I was cool though if the truth be known I was painfully shy. But the energy of those times was palpable as all us working class kids believed anything was possible “ – Peter Fetterman
