About Willie Christie
During the ‘70s and early ‘80s Willie Christie worked extensively as a photographer with British Vogue. His portfolio includes award-winning advertising, fashion and portrait work for international icons as diverse as Grace Jones and Douglas Fairbanks Jnr. He’s worke on album covers for the likes of the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Lou Reed. After winning a series of awards and being featured in several exhibitions, the lure of film pulled him away from photographs. In 1982, he moved into the realm of writing and directing commercials and music videos. These have covered a wide range of subject from Pink Floyd’s Final Cut to Medway shoes. The launch of Willie’s Limited Edition Collection in 2011 marked the first time the photographer delved into his personal archives to showcase work that hadn’t been displayed for over three decades.
