John Cowan’s adventurous and dynamic style and love of photographing beautiful women led him to a career as a highly demanded fashion photographer. His freelance work appeared in many publications including Elle, Queen and Vogue, as well as many daily newspapers. He found his ideal subject in the model Jill Kenington in 1962 and together they made fashion images that are fresh today. He also pioneered the exotic location shoot, ranging from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts, but overall his images capture the youthful revolution in fashion of the early and mid ’60s.
