About the Item

David Koppel served his photographic apprenticeship in the rough-and-tumble world of the Fleet Street paparazzi in 1980’s London when his skills captured the very essence of the Me Decade that gave birth to the celebrity culture of today. Koppel’s classic photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & the Royal Family appeared in every major newspaper and magazine and marked him out as that rarity amongst press photographers: the artist with a camera. Building on the reputation gained through the photographs for the book Still Waters, his black-and-white portraits of ordinary people now rank among the many famous names in his portfolio. Koppel also went one better and in 2002 bought the St Giles St Gallery , bringing the best of local and international contemporary art and photography to Norwich, including the works of Sir Peter Blake, Terry O’Neill, David Bailey, Maggie Hambling, Storm Thorgersson, Tim Woolcock and  Colin Kent with international shows such as the $11 Million Picture Show ( the most expensive piece of Beatles memorabilia to ever go on sale) and The Unseen Beatles by Frank Herrmann, along with CREAM: the best of The Sunday Times Photographers. His own photographic work had already been recognised with an exhibition of “Pap Art” – now a Koppel trademark – in Zurich and a glowing write-up in the Sunday Times magazine. photo shows Naomi Campbell, Vivienne Westwood and hair stylist Sam McKnight licking Campbell's shoes, designed by Vivienne Westwood, who is famously lifting them up in a reference to the time Campbell stumbled on the catwalk wearing the same shoes. It was at the Natural History Museum just after the London Fashion Awards where Campbell was just about to leave with McKnight, Kate Moss and Westwood and it all just happened instinctively in front of my camera. Nothing was directed. Paper size 35 x 24 Image size 30 x 20 Edition Number 1 in an edition of 10 this size. Signed, stamped and numbered by the photographer.
