Angus McBean – Welsh photographer, 1941. Amazing both his portraits and how I’m not really aware of his work. I suspect being a gay man who was imprisoned under the sodomy laws (although Gielgud was caught importuning and it didn’t do his career any harm – didn’t get jail time though?) affected his later image….but he did take that famous picture of the Beatles looking down from a block of flats that was used on the cover of Please Please Me.
