Brian Duffy (1933–2010) was an English photographer and film producer. Together with his friendly rivals Terence Donovan and David Bailey he made up ‘The Black Trinity’, a soubriquet used by Norman Parkinson to describe his new, highly successful competition. Then, after more than a twenty years at the cutting edge of photography, Duffy vanished from the scene. A rumor spread that he had burned his negatives.
