"I must have done literally hundreds of different images around that particular photo of the Queen's face. Which was an official Cecil Beaton portrait that I got from the Daily Express. I did two days of photographic sessions with Carol Moss until I came up with the safety pin. There was no point in beating around the bush: in many ways you use the same tactics that you know are going to get thrown back in your face from the likes of the Mirror and the Sun." Jamie Reid.
