With unusual frankness the world-famous fashion photographer tells the story of his life. Born in pre-WWII Berlin, Jewish, he escaped arrest by the Gestapo and set off for China. He stopped off at Singapore where he worked as a 'gigolo', was interned and sent to Australia where he was put to work as an apricot-picker and later joined the army. Demobilised, he set up as a freelance fashion-photographer, worked for Vogue and ultimately earned worldwide fame.
