Peter Schlesinger's beautiful bohemian life amongst Hockney, Blahnik and Beaton

The photographs in Peter Schlesinger’s new book A Photographic Memory 1968-1989 show an enviable and rose-tinted life. His dreamy visual diary is filled with beautifully candid shots of lovers and friends like David Hockney, Grace Coddington, Christopher Isherwood and Paloma Picasso, and offers an intimate glance into fashionable bohemian society throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. It tells of hours spent sunbathing or lingering over dinners, intimate moments at home with Hockney and later, his boyfriend Eric, car rides with Andy Warhol in Monte Carlo and watching Manolo Blahnik get his hair cut.
