Philip Sharkey

In 1953, Dave Sharkey opened Passport Photo Service on Oxford Street in London across from Selfridges. Over sixty-six years, they photographed thousands of people for passports, visas, and green cards—and some of them just happened to be famous. An unexpected archive of celebrity portraits, this charming book is a collection of more than 300 never-before-seen photos from the studio, featuring icons such as Muhammad Ali, Eric Clapton, Joan Collins, Sean Connery, Daniel Day-Lewis, Tom Ford, Mick Jagger, Angelina Jolie, Little Richard, Madonna, Bill Murray, Katy Perry, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ringo Starr, Sting, Tilda Swinton, Kate Winslet, Valentino, and many, many more.
