John Hedgecoe (24 March 1932 – 3 June 2010)[1] was an award-winning British photographer and the best-selling author of over 30 books on photography.[2] He established the photography department in 1965 at the Royal College of Art, where he was Professor from 1975 to 1994 and was Professor Emeritus until his death. His photographs appear in permanent collections at the New York Museum of Modern Art and London's National Portrait Gallery.[2]
[edit] Postage stamps
Hedgecoe’s profile shot of the Queen was made by him in June 1967, and was then used by Arnold Machin (a well-known stamp sculpturer) to make a plaster version. Once the plaster version was produced, Hedgecoe then photographed it for the stamp image which is now familiar to many.[3]
