In 2006, photographer Harry Benson captured Amy Winehouse during her global success and recognition at the Savoy Hotel in London. The photographs beautifully highlight her lively and vibrant personality.
“I am glad I had the opportunity to photograph the mega-talented Amy Winehouse when she was enjoying the first wave of her success,” Benson said. “The petite young woman was not what I expected. She was all business in the recording studio and was personable and easy to work with when we started taking photographs. She seemed to be feeling great that day and liked being photographed.”
In these images, Harry Benson’s lens focuses on Amy Winehouse, a begrudgingly famous artist cherished for her ability to produce empathy and for the emotional strength of her voice. With his honed skill, Benson captures the sensuous soul of a generational singer-songwriter who owed the world nothing but bestowed upon it such promising talent and moving music. Although the musician’s life would be cut short by tragedy, the photo session offers a lasting moment that will maintain alive the legacy of Winehouse’s work and iconic persona.
