‘We started out taking photographs in a bar on Portobello Road, then we moved to my house in Kensal Rise. There was a room I called the black room – it had a black carpet and a cupboard with blackboard paint on its sliding doors. I stored negatives and contact sheets in there. Although the room is dark, light comes through the bay window in the early evening. I took the last shot of the day there. The record company decided they wanted it for the album cover – and when they told me they were going to call it Back to Black, it all made sense. Serendipity, I guess’. 🖤”

‘When I first met her I thought she was an up and coming talent and that she was not going to be so forthright. I didn’t think she was going to be mouthy! Straight to the point, which I loved’ – Ram Shergill on working with Amy. 🤍

Amy was a big fan of Frank Sinatra, growing up listening to his music. It was a nostalgic part of her childhood. 🤍
