A 1960s fashion photographer who deliberately destroyed many of his negatives by fire 30 years ago is to stage a major exhibition of the surviving pictures for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regarded as one of the most ‘dynamic and inventive’ photographers of the 1960s Brian Duffy helped document the ‘swinging sixties’, along with the likes of David Bailey and Terence Donovan.<\/p>\n

However, Duffy vanished from the photographic scene leading to rumours that he had burned all his negatives.<\/p>\n

‘Thankfully, not all the negatives were destroyed,’ said a spokesman for the Chris Beetles Gallery in London where the surviving images will go on show after years of ‘painstaking’ archival work.<\/p>\n

‘Camden Council had received complaints from neighbours about clouds of acrid smoke and so intervened. Had they not, Duffy would indeed have thrown the lot on the fire that afternoon.’<\/p>\n

The gallery, which will showcase 60 of Duffy’s images, added: ‘It is an extraordinary and largely unseen body of work that powerfully documents the vibrancy of London in the “swinging ’60s”‘.<\/p>\n

Famous subjects in the pictures include Michael Caine, John Lennon (pictured) and Sammy Davis Junior.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opens on 14 October.<\/p>\n
