This is the first book dedicated to the portraiture of legendary photographer Terence Donovan. Donovan’s interest in portraiture spanned the entirety of his four-decade career. During this time, he worked for major British and international magazines including Vogue, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle. Donovan undertook numerous private portrait commissions, photographing public figures from the worlds of the arts, politics, and business, in addition to members of the British Royal family. Some of his many sitters include Yasser Arafat, Naomi Campbell, Sean Connery, Diana Princess of Wales, Twiggy, and Charlotte Rampling, among many others. Along with his iconic portraits, this book will feature unseen work from Donovan’s archive, never previously published or exhibited. It will also include magazine spreads, contact sheets, and pages from diaries and daybooks—rare ephemera that provide a unique insight into Donovan’s working practice.

Terence Daniel Donovan (1936–1996) was an English photographer and film director. Donovan was born in the East End of London and took his first photo at the age of 15. The bomb-damaged industrial landscape of his home town became the backdrop of much of his fashion photography, and he set the trend for positioning fashion models in stark and gritty urban environments. Along with David Bailey and Brian Duffy, he captured, and in many ways helped create, the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. Donovan also directed some 3,000 television commercials.
