Dennis Anthony was my photography tutor at Farnham during the late 70’s at what used to be called WSCAD now University of Creative Arts. During the 60’s he worked at Woburn studios as a commercial photographer. Here is an interview with a Swedish photographer Carl Lindhe who was his studio assistant. I instantly recognised Dennis in the 2 images in the article.

The last pic of the shirt stall made me smile. Back in the mid 80s my husband took up golf and I used to buy him nice polo shirts to wear for his Saturday morning round from a stall down the Lane. They were good quality cotton, washed well and a bargain at only 3 quid each.

Don’t give up on spotting your honeymooning parents, GA. I just found my mother in one of shots, selecting jewelry. Yep, that’s my mother, grooving on inexpensive costume regalia. Although she had a very limited handfull of “good” jewelry in her dresser-top box, my mother was “mad for novelty” (your phrase, and a goodie!) and adored bright colors, glistening faux gems, and unlikely
theme-like chunks of finery. Scatter pins. Ropes of fake pearls in pastel mermaid shades. Plastic beads in rainbow hues. Flirty sunglasses with rhinestones. Fun bracelets that rattled.
Just like the women in the photo, my mother always looked feminine and frilly, with a signature
finishing touch of “Hot Tomato” lipstick.

I hope someone will be able to find out more about photographer Dennis Anthony. (dare I say, he seems to have the “eye” of a commercial advertising photographer or art director.) I would
love to see more of his work. Many thanks, GA.
