Pattie Boyd was a popular fashion model in the early 1960s, and as Robert Freeman was a fashion photographer, it seems fitting that he captured this fashion shot of her standing in a studio wearing a glossy racing suit.
Freeman is responsible for five consecutive UK album covers during the peak years of "Beatlemania," from 1963 to 1965. His work was featured on With The Beatles, A Hard Days Night, Beatles For Sale, Help! and Rubber Soul. He also designed and photographed the covers for John Lennon's two books In His Own Write (Simon & Schuster, 1964) and A Spaniard in the Works (Simon & Schuster, 1965) and the end credit sequences of their two films: A Hard Days Night and Help!.
