Give us this day our daily bird is a series we introduced as part of John d Green’s incredible Birds of Britain exhibition.
Many of the ladies that John d Green photographed in 1966/7 are very well-known – like Pattie Boyd here. Others, less so. To my mind, they all have equal billing, as they were all willing subjects in a very special project that happened fifty years ago. Some of the ladies have, sadly, passed away, but many are still with us. Each has a story.
Over the course fifty posts, we shared what we discovered from our research into each of these fabulous subjects and their sessions with John d Green. Each day we focused on a different lady from John d Green’s Birds of Britain archive.
They all feature in this incredible large format limited edition book.
Check them out below.
