Lewis Morley's photo of Susannah York in Montmartre, 1961
Lewis Morley's most famous photograph by far: Christine Keeler, from 1963. She's sitting in the chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1960, now called the "Keeler Chair". Morley later did a series of photos of naked celebrities sitting in Keeler's pose, from David Frost to Joe Orton to Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage.
And here's Lewis Morley himself, recreating a photo that's perhaps become too famous for his own taste. Notice the millstone around his neck!
