In 1969, I deciding to take a rest from my Rock and Fashion photography in London. So I compiled my best  Sensual photographs of some of the new  Supermodels that I had shot up till then,  and titled the collection “Super Stars 69”, which was published in the German “TWEN” Art magazine. Then from this, in the 70s I shot models for various European Glamour magazines and later for US.
