Cornel Lucas Photos

How to look saucy and angelic at the same time. This enchanting portrait of Brigitte Bardot by London photographer Cornel Lucas is one of the exhibits in a new show at the Chris Beetles Fine Photography Gallery in Swallow Street, London, W1B 4DE (CLICK). Cornel Lucas, now 91, is the only photographer to have been awarded a BAFTA for his services to the British film industry. Alice Bhandhukravi interviewed him for BBC London News and he tells an amusing story of his first encounter with Marlene Dietrich (title link). The exhibition Cornel Lucas runs from 20 July to 27 August.
