Documentary, street and fashion photographers in the 1960's.
This was a new age of photography, with the likes of David Bailey and Terence Donovan hitting the fashion scene and making for the first time photography a sexy industry. It was Photographers like these that would make the famous even more famous. The Rockstars and supermodels were all lining up to have their photo taken. The photos would be spread across the world in magazines and newspapers.
Not only did this boost the fame of the already famous but the photographers were all of a sudden celebrities.
