Signed limited edition 20x24" print of Amy Winehouse taken at a laundromat in London by Jake Chessum. Limited edition number 3/15 Jake recalls the session: “I travelled from NYC to London in February 2004 to do a press shoot with Amy Winehouse.

I am a huge jazz fan and I remember we talked about music, London and New York.” Jake grew...

ABOUT ARTHUR STEEL This photographer's archive of iconic images is nothing short of fabulous, and counts David Walliams as a collector.
