Sir Jimmy Savile OBE by John Hooton

Taken in 1966, this is one of my favourite images of the 60’s of the iconic DJ, Sir Jimmy Savile OBE. I took the shot when I was 20 during my assistant days at 1:15 am, after a long advertising shoot for a petrol company with my boss, top fashion and advertising photographer John Cowan. I asked Sir Jim if I could run a couple of rolls of film for my portfolio. True gent that he is, Jim said “Sure!” even though every one was pretty tired after the 5 hour gasoline ad session. Anyhow, this is the result and it remains one of my favourite pictures to this day as it shows Sir Jim as he really was and is – a strong and generous human being who did not take himself too seriously. You are a true professional Jim, and I am eternally grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. Technical Details: Camera: Hasselblad 500C / Lens: 80mm Planar / Film: Tri-X / ASA: 400 rated at 200 / Exposure: 1/125 sec at f/16 / Lighting: 5,000 Joule Strobe in perspex light bank. © 1966 – 2008 John Hooton

About This Group

A group for black and white photos only capturing the essence and character of people – mainly focusing on the fabulous, interesting faces and expressions.

There are no limits or rules about how many you can put on so feel free to add your work. However, please try not to put on similar ones on the same day. We’re going to aim for no more than 50 pages of artwork – everything in the middle gets lost if there are too many shots.
