Perfect Portrait

Freddie Mercury - it would have to be black and white with strong contrasts.

Hmm would love to have done Marilyn Monroe particularly that last shoot with Bert Stern...




Seemed Marilyn loved having her photo taken because she didn't have to talk or act...

I find the best portraits come under pressure, this one I took of singer Miles Kane, I had 10 seconds with him in the press tent backstage at Leeds Festival & literally said strike a pose... Some people make it easy others make it difficult...




As for the original op I would also loved to have done Debbie Harry, particularly around 1977-80, still haven't done her live yet... Hopefully that day will come..

I think I would like to take pictures of pre-photography icons. TBH I'd probably be more interested in what they had to say.

I reckon Napoleon would have been interesting, ulitmately although I am not religious I would have photographed Jesus, "Jesus, do you think you'll leave a lasting legacy?!".
