In a career that has spanned some 50 years, Lewis Morley has worked with equal ease in theatre, fashion, portraiture, magazine photography and documentary reportage. His body of work, particularly his portraits of key figures of 1960s London, is highly recognised. With his famous photo of Christine Keeler naked upon a chair, Morley produced an image that is probably one of the most memorable, and most copied, of any photographs of any time. Christine Keeler, London 1963. Keeler had been living with society doctor Stephen Ward, who introduced her to John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War in the Macmillan Government. Another of her frequent visitors was the Soviet naval attaché Eugene Ivanov. Pressure from Fleet Street scandal sheets forced Profumo’s resignation, Stephen Ward to suicide and Keeler to be imprisoned. Morley photographed Keeler in his studio above The Establishment at the behest of Peter Cook as publicity shots for a future film.
