If you can imagine trying to take pictures on a really dark November day – it was a bit of a technical struggle to put it mildly, it was taken with the wrong lens on a dark day but to some extent maybe that’s why it works. There’s something quite enigmatic about Morrissey’s expression – it doesn’t look desperately posed. They were at the peak of their success and I’m so proud that the image has become recognisable worldwide. It’s funny really – I remember developing the shot in a makeshift darkroom in my bedroom – using chemicals that I kept in old fizzy drinks bottles.”\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday the primary image is part of the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, Manchester Art Gallery and Salford Museum \u0026amp; Art Gallery and is perhaps the most iconic image of The Smiths, as well as one of the most iconic images in the Rock Photography canon of all time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand signed by the Photographer in the white border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen edition. Available in three sizes.
