John de Garis, fellow photographer and long time friend of Adams represents the estate for print and image sales.

 
This picture I took on what was then a bomb site. It was at the crossroads of Euston Road and Gower Street, London. I had chosen the location ahead of time for its variety of possibilities. It was taken in April 1963 for Boyfriend magazine, but was subsequently chosen by John Lennon and Tony Barrow for the cover of The Beatles ‘Twist and Shout’ EP - shortly to be released.

Prints are available on archival fibre paper or lustre finish on mountboard, with the option of a limited number authenticity sticker signed by the artist before her passing.

Photographed during the Mayfair Hotel Press Conference, London, May 3rd, 1966. The Press Conference was not going well, and this is the "fed up" photo taken near the end.

  Bob Dylan at the Mayfair Hotel, London, May 3rd, 1966. After some awkward questions by the press, Dylan stands up, and here, pauses, ready to climb out the window. He did just that, and stayed outside the window for some minutes, to cool off.

Mayfair Hotel, London, May, 3rd, 1966. The Press had just asked the question "Was he married?". He decline to answer, and instead retaliated by asking the middle aged female journalist if she was.

Mayfair Hotel, London, May, 3rd, 1966. The Press Conference was quite uncomfortable. We were all being filmed by an American crew that I assumed was filming Dylan's U.K. tour. I was glad that I was the photographer, and could work unnoticed scooting around on my knees under the table. These resulting four pictures were my four favourites of the shoot.

Taken in Kingly Street, London W1 in 1965. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I ever made with Bowie, taken incidentally. This was a fashion shoot which I took for Fabulous Magazine. Jeanette (Jan de Souza) and David arrived. She looked great in this Correges type silver dress, hat and boots. Why they had musical instruments I don’t know. I had earlier spotted this wagon wheel leaning up against the wall of a bric-a-brac shop. This sort of thing was always useful to make a shot more interesting. I began the shoot, and then thought David, I assumed the boyfriend, looked pretty cool, and asked if he would pose as well. Thank goodness I did.

This was in dress rehearsal, at the Palladium for Fabulous Magazine around 1965. In ‘63 I had photographed her for Boyfriend Magazine. A studio session, not a happy or satisfying shoot. She would only be photographed from one angle, very frustrating for the photographer. Far better to photograph her in action as here. I still love hearing all those wonderful songs she sang with that amazing delivery.

Fab 208’s rooftop studio in Farringdon Street. London WC1. Taken around 1966. He had a hit that year, after his name change, hence the photo session. This picture was taken between shirt changes, it was not used in Fab, probably too risqué at that time for our teenage readership. In order for the neck to appear less bare decided to drape my purple silk scarf around it. The rooftop studio was an embarrassment. It was a portacabin stuck on a flat roof reached by an iron fire escape. I only used it .when the weather was bad or short of time, but a lot of well know people where photographed up there including Twiggy and Tom Jones to mention a couple.

Taken in the Fab 208 offices where he had a stab at editing the magazine. Around 1966. This time in a beautiful frilly fronted white shirt. He was really easy to photograph.

This was taken in the Boyfriend magazine studio, No 21 Kingly Street WI. March 1963. When he came in for the sitting I didn’t really know who he was. I had been out in Australia for nearly three years, and this was a shoot during my first week working for Boyfriend. I confessed my ignorance, he was very charming and we talked about Australia which got me out of some difficulty. It was only later I knew what a big star he was.

My first photo shoot with Gerry and the Pacemakers for Boyfriend Magazine in early 1963. They were fun and game for anything. Spotting this slide in a children’s playground we decided to use the facility. I think they enjoyed it, and it helped them stop shivering on a cold London day.

It was difficult to organise all the Yardbirds in one place at the same time. The day of the shoot we were all supposed to meet at Hyde Park corner. If my memory serves me well, I seem to remember I did the shoot with the other Yardbird members, and almost at the end Jeff turns up, by which time the others were running out of time, and had to leave for other pressing appointments. So I had Jeff to myself for a few minutes in that beautiful velvet coat. As it was springtime and there was lots of blossom about, why not use it?

It was April 1967. June Southworth and I were on assignment covering a tour for Fab 208. This involved riding on the tour bus with Jimi, Mitch and Noel. Jimi came to sit with us, and it was great having the opportunity to chat with him for a couple of hours. We felt we were getting to know him a little more intimately, and to detect aspects of his character not usually displayed on stage. I glimpsed an intelligent and surprisingly gentle, almost meditative side to his nature. This is what I think I have captured here.

Dressing room shot taken before going on stage in Lincoln. April 1967. They seemed very relaxed and cracked jokes. I had often met Mitch when he was with Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, and always found him a really nice and easy guy to get along with. As was Noel, although I had not come across him so often.

Very early days for me working for Boyfriend magazine. Somewhere around spring 1963 I was sent to EMI headquarters. There I met John and had a very good photo session I felt. He was easy and attractive to photograph. I was pleased to find this staircase and it was the opportunity to create something a little different for that time. To take this shot I’m pretty sure I was standing on the balcony where the Beatles stood for the record cover shot the other way around by Angus McBean.

 
London 1966. I photographed Juliette Greco for Fab.208 at a reception given for her at a London Hotel near Marble Arch. It was a beautiful day and we climbed out onto a rooftop and looked out over the trees tops. She had such a lovely very ‘French’ face. She was to appear at the London Palladium at a Royal Variety Performance.

 
I had several photo shoots with Marc. Always delightful, always great to photograph. Taken for private publicity use out and about in London, 1966.

 
Marc called me one day at the Fab 208 office and told me he had just acquired a kitten. Would I like to come and see it? I arrived at the flat he shared with his publicist, and there was this dear little soot black kitten dashing about. The only way to photograph him was to capture him and hold him tight.Here is the result. London 1966.

 
Good backgrounds sometimes appeared whilst wandering the London streets. This wall with the shaft of sunlight was perfect, and Marc completes the picture. Out and about in London 1966

 
This was a fashion shoot with Nico for Fab.208 in a Mary Quant look-a-like dress. I had been into the Pine Shop in Carnaby Street and thought it would be great for backgrounds. Nico appeared with Ben Carruthers as her male counterpart. He had a selection of flowery and patterned shirts to wear with long rounded collars. They looked great together and the rocking horse completes the picture. The results were printed in Fab. in 1966.

 
Nico came to the Fab 208 Farringdon Street offices for this shoot. She had just had a record released. The sand coloured corduroy suit and tan cowboy boots looked wonderful on her. My studio was a porta cabin on the roof of the building, and I used the awful metal fire escape staircase for this angle. The staircase had its uses. London 1966.

 
Again on the Fab.208 Farringdon Street office fire escape. This close-up of Nico shows her beautiful bone structure. Fleet Street roof tops behind. London 1966.

 
Taken on Brighton Pier, England around 1966. I had a shock when I first saw the Pretty Things. It was a rear view of them walking down a corridor in the Fab 208 offices. It was the hair, the longest I had seen on a group to date. They looked so interesting, were so very nice, and terrific to photograph. I photographed them quite a few times over a couple of years. This Brighton trip was interesting. After we had completed the shoot on the pier we went into the lanes in Brighton to find something to eat. It was a cold day and about 6.00pm. They were playing in Brighton that night, so we needed to eat early. An Indian restaurant was just opening, but they made some excuse not to let us in. It was the hair. I said ‘you stay around the corner, and I’ll ask if this other restaurant is open.’ It was, I booked for six. When we appeared the poor old waiter nearly died. He was really frightened. His hands were really shacking when he brought the coffee cups. I’m sorry the pic.lacks one of the group.

Early days around 1964, I think. Shot for Boyfriend in the Marble Arch underground car park. I knew them reasonably well. They came once to the Boyfriend studio in Kingly Street to warm up on one freezing day. I had a gas fire and coffee. They had been to the tailor in Carnaby Street to be measured for suits.

The Beatles tour of Germany in 1966. I was lucky to be sent by Fab.208 magazine to cover the tour for a couple of days. This shot of Paul was taken on the train after leaving Munich. It was great for the ‘press’. We had them captured for a few hours! Note Tony Barrow their publicist in the background.
