Lewis Morley was born in Hong Kong in 1925, the son of English and Chinese parents. His first published photographs were in Photography Magazine in 1957, followed by reportage in The Tatler from 1958. After a brief association with Panoramic Studios, Lewis Morley Studios was founded at Peter Cook's London club, The Establishment in 1961. During the 1960s he took the first published photographs of Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy, Michael Caine, Susannah York and Charlotte Rampling; as well as his key portraits of Christine Keeler and playwright, Joe Orton. Morley emigrated to Australia in 1971 where he worked for a time with Studio Ben Eriksson, and in partnership, Babette Hayes Interior. His commercial work flourished in local style magazines like Belle, Pol and Dolly until 1987, when he retired. In 1989 the National Portrait Gallery in London created an exhibition and catalogue Lewis Morley: Photographer of the Sixties, which toured the United Kingdom. His autobiography Black and White Lies was published in 1992, and prompted a retrospective of his work Right Time, Right Place at the State Library of New South Wales in 1993.

Mark Tedeschi, AM, KC is an Australian barrister, law professor, photographer and author.
