Harry Benson

I had the pleasure and privilege of being in the audience for a lunchtime masterclass from world renowned photographer Harry Benson, who shared with us some of his best and most famous work and told us many of the extraordinary stories that went with the pictures. And someone who has photographed every US President since Eisenhower as well as everyone from the Beatles to Amy Winehouse and Muhammad Ali to Martin Luther King has a few stories to tell. A fantastic experience.

I'm quite pleased with the photo, taken during the seminar at the limit of my zoom and without any flash, which has turned out fairly well despite the backlighting, if not quite as well as any of Harry's.
