- One of his most famous images which he had recently recreated was the naked pose of Sixties singer Marsha Hunt with a giant afro for the musical Hair.
- In July 1981 he shot the official photographs at the wedding of King Charles III and Princess Diana.
- A globetrotting society photographer of considerable repute, his subjects have included such disparate figures as heavyweight boxer, Henry Cooper (1966), Marsha Hunt (1968 & 2005)) (a toast to her appearance in "Hair"), Britt Ekland (1970/2003) (whom he dated), Mick Jagger and Bianca Jagger (1971) on their wedding day in St. Tropez (he gave the bride away), the Duke of Windsor and Duchess of Windsor, singer Kate Bush (1980), comedian Tommy Cooper (1980), Joanna Lumley (1981), Princess Margaret (1993), Margaret Thatcher (2005) (for her 80th birthday), Elle Macpherson, Shakira Caine, Antonia Fraser, Roman Polanski David Hockney, and Jerry Hall, etc
- It's usually a disadvantage to be a peer if you have a profession. People don't take you seriously.
- To marry a photographer who charges around the world with the most beautiful girls is not a reliable prospect. Until my marriage break-up, I'd never had any kind of emotional upset. I might have broken a few hearts, but my own was pretty much intact. That shows how spoiled I was.
