Early colour portraits


During World War Two, as Head of Kodak Ltd's Photo Finishing Laboratory in Harrow, England, Redhead had access to supplies of scarce Kodachrome colour film.

Redhead took many colour portraits of politicians, high-ranking military figures and celebrities as well as ordinary people involved in the war effort. Here is a selection.
