The late great Patrick Lichfield began his career in the early 1960s in editorial work, including time at Life and Queen Magazine and a five year contract with American Vogue. In July 1981 he was appointed official photographer at the wedding of his cousin Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer, and the resulting photographs, refreshingly informal, were published and celebrated around the world. He was awarded Fellowships of both The British Institute of Professional Photographers and The Royal Photographic Society.
Lichfield's portraits of footballer Pele merge classic photography techniques with the latest computer technology to brilliant effect; and reflect the talent of a photographer who was just as at ease in his portrayal of this great sportsman as with his royal relatives.
