Richard and Jane O'Brien at the Embassy Club London, 1980

In the early eighties in London, the Embassy club really became my office. You'd meet everybody there, fashion editors, editors of Vogue, style editors, music editors, everybody would converge at the Embassy Club and that's where I did most of my networking. I'd meet people like Lynne Franks the director of London Fashion Week, editors of different magazines and just introduce myself. I very rarely even had to take my portfolio in again, they seem to trust me and just said, ‘Yep, shoot it, come in next week with a bunch of photos,’ which I did. And that continued for years.
