“Brigitte Bardot is probably my most famous image and it was pure luck. I was down to my last frame on a roll of film on the set of The Ballad of Frenchie King, a comedy western that was being shot in Almeria, Spain, in 1971.
I noticed the wind was gusting her hair shortly before she went in front of the cameras and I wanted to capture that windswept look. I missed the shot the first time that the wind blew and then luckily, the wind picked up again and I caught it the second time around.
I was on the last frame and there was a chance that I didn’t get it at all, but when I got back to London and developed the film I was ecstatic. I had got the shot and I knew I’d got a winner. Photography is all about the moment—and luck.”
