I am trying to track down the photographer of this Maggie Smith photo so I can credit them in a publication. I have found a very similar photo from the same shoot I am sure being sold online at art.com uncredited. They are not replying to my enquirie
I have just acquired a batch of strange photographs from the 70's that I am trying to pinpoint the location of where they where taken. Please have a look at the image and if you have any ideas please let me know.
