John Hedgecoe (24 March 1932 – 3 June 2010)[1] was an award-winning British photographer and 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 Professor Emeritus until his death.[1] He was also Pro-Rector of the college from 1981 to 1994.[3] His photographs appear in permanent collections at the New York Museum of Modern Art and London's National Portrait Gallery.[2]
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 design sculptor) to make a plaster version. Once the plaster version was produced, Hedgecoe photographed it for the stamp image which is now familiar to many.[4]
