Amy with Lipstick #3

by Charles Moriarty

Amy, with her baby blue fender on Grimsby Street, just off of Brick Lane in London’s east end. This image was taken very shortly after we shot the cover image for the ‘Frank’ album. Grimsby Street was a side street where we could work in peace as there was just this one bike shop at the end of it, and it had some pretty great graffiti on it too. Amy as an artist shines so strongly here, her look to camera is full of knowing and purpose, as opposed to many others, where we are just bumbling through things, neither of us with much of a clue as to what we were doing. We didn’t have much, if any, real experience at this kind of thing.

Extra information

20 years of 'Frank
"The intimate photos provide a stark contrast to the paparazzi images that later defined the singer, snapped intrusively and cruelly, framing the star's spiraling destruction like the latest juicy gossip. Here, on the cusp of fame, Winehouse is not frightened by the camera and its consequences. She meets its gaze head on, flirtatiously pulling the viewer under her spell."
- Huffpost

“With images from two shoots in 2003, one in New York , the other in London, home to the singer of Back to Black, this beautiful book, Before Frank, compiles about fifty unpublished photos, A must-have therefore, for all fans of the singer.”
