Life and career

[…] In a comparison with David Bailey, Lategan was described as ‘the Gainsborough of fashion photography’ to Bailey’s Hogarth. Over his career he photographed Princess Anne, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Iman, Germaine Greer, Calvin Klein, Margaret Thatcher, Sol Campbell, John Major, and Salman Rushdie. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 2007.

His photography has been exhibited by the Victoria and Albert Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, the Olympus Gallery, the Royal Photographic Society, Bath, and the South African National Gallery. […]

Barry Lategan photographed Paul McCartney in July 1968 for a feature on men’s fashion that appeared in The Observer in March 1969. A few years later, in 1971, Lategan would once again step behind the lens for Paul — this time capturing the cover photo for Wings’ debut album, “Wild Life.”
