Kunstnerens egen kommentar
This image was created around the extravagant lifestyle of the rich – Thus the 1967 Ferrari car with a multi-millionaire playboy called Julian Moulton who together with his brother jointly owned 80% share hold of the Chase Manhattan Bank at that time. The gorgeous lady is Maren Greve wearing a beautiful suede coat from Jean Muir and is married to David Enthoven the music manager of Robbie Williams. The quirky midget chauffeur Willy Shearer was an actor/circus performer best known for his performances in Dr Who, The Avengers & The Tommy Cooper shows is standing there holding the door open, cigarette in his mouth – very much a moment from that very wild time in Sixties. Willy wanted to be in all my further photos and we discussed him just being in them in some way or another not always in sharp focus but just there. We aligned the idea to Durer the painter who used for a period of time to put a mouse in every picture and you would have to find it! We thought we should do the same. It was a shame that we never did this as it would have been an incredible idea that I think in today's viewing would have raised the curiosity of the photographs. The photograph was taken at Ham house.
