The legendary photographer has worked with some high profile subjects in the course of her 60 year career including The Queen, Woody Allen and Margaret Thatcher as well as pop icons Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bjork and Sinead O'Connor. Starting out at The Observer in 1949, her first published portrait was of philosopher Bertrand Russell, she went on to cover a huge variety of topics from Glastonbury to Churchill's funeral. In 1985 she was awarded the MBE, going on to recieive the CBE a decade later for her outstanding contribution to photography. PLEASE NOTE:
Exposures takes place in the foyer of Guardian News and Media from Friday 23 October 2009 until Sunday 6 December 2009 and in the exhibition level in Kings Place from Friday the 23rd October to Sunday 21st November.
