Brian Duffy (1933–2010) was an English photographer and film producer. Together with his friendly rivals Terence Donovan and David Bailey he made up ‘The Black Trinity’, a soubriquet used by Norman Parkinson to describe his new, highly successful competition. Then, after more than a twenty years at the cutting edge of photography, Duffy vanished from the scene. A rumor spread that he had burned his negatives.

One of the most dynamic and inventive photographers of the 1960s, Duffy was best remembered for his fashion and portrait photography of the 1960s and 1970s.

These vintage photos are part of his work that Brian Duffy took fashion portraits of classic beauties in the 1960s.
