08 Nov Edmund White rue Poulletier Île Saint-Louis Paris 1986

This portrait of Ed  is the paperback cover for his memoir ‘My Lives’ and has been published in The New Yorker, The Independent, Interview Magazine, The Evening Standard, Le Monde, The Guardian, QX and Gay Times. The story behind the image is in my book, The White Camera Diaries and was published in QX Magazine (shown below)
The latest part of his memoir ‘Inside a Pearl’, has another portrait by me on the paperback cover, which was taken in Avignon and Ed writes about the episode in this book. See ‘Press’

Update July 2025: Ed sadly passed away on June 3rd. I’d had a brief email exchange with him just two days before. What a huge personal loss his passing is. I loved him. This image was used by The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review and The New Yorker in their tributes.
