Hi

I'm thinking of a black & white photo of a guy (mechanic - maybe french or american???) carrying a couple of tyres...possibly dates from 40/50s. The mechanic may be smoking. The picture is often in those poster/art type shops and in coffee table history of photography books

Can anyone think which picture it is?

We were talking in work about it today, no-one could remember who took it, or could find copy using google.

If I can't remember the photographer's name I'll never sleep tonight.

:)
 
Further investigation suggests its a mid 80's photograph...

There was a thing on telly the other night (BBC3 or BBC4) about fashion photographers - this image was in it. Might still be on iPlayer if you take a look...
 
This was featured on a BBC4 Programme this week called 7 photographs that changed fashion, unfortunately I can't remember who the photographer was.

It's repeated tomorrow at 9pm on BBC4 if you don't find out before then
 
Brilliant!!!!!!!....that's it.

Thanks very much lads.

right i'm off to see if i can find the prog on iplayer.
