SIOUXSIE SIOUX London, 1976
This isn’t a posed photo; in fact, I doubt Siouxsie Sioux even knew I took it. [Ed.; She didn’t! Siouxsie Sioux posted on Simon’s Instagram 84 weeks ago: “Can you comment on my photo?”] I didn’t know her, so there’s not really a backstory. She was around, and I photographed her with the band and stuff. But here I saw her on the street, on Lad broke Grove in London, in 1976. You kind of couldn’t miss her, either. She was really photogenic. I love the picture, the colors are so warm. It’s a beautiful exposure.
