Former wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton, Boyd is famously the inspiration for Harrison's \"Something\" and Clapton's \"Layla\" and \"Wonderful Tonight.\" Boyd's love of photography developed around the time of her marriage to Harrison. She documented their life together, and later also her second marriage to Clapton, capturing a vast archive of images not just as part of two of the most famous marriages of all time, but also documenting their close friends and contemporaries, including Twiggy, David Bailey, Mick Jagger, Billy Preston and the Beatles.\u003cbr\u003eBoyd's archive also includes letters from her marriages and from friends, including John and Yoko. It includes diary entries, artifacts and artworks, most famously the original \u003ci\u003eLayla\u003c\/i\u003e album cover painting by Emile Frandsen. It features extensive photographs from her early modeling career for \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e among other publications, giving a fascinating snapshot into the sea change that occurred in the modeling industry from the postwar demure black-and-white approach to the psychedelic, short-skirt, swinging '60s. It includes portraits and photographs of Boyd taken by some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, such as David Bailey, Eric Swayne, Terence Donovan, Robert Freeman and Robert Whitaker. The pictorial feast is further animated by Boyd's accompanying stories and recollections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 11.1 x 9.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765728641312,"sku":"9781909526907","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/26123cbceba7e66fe71f82eb59ee9c8c.webp?v=1780278139","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/pattie-boyd-my-life-in-pictures-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
