About
Perhaps best known as a collaborator on the legendary Beatles album cover for Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Al Vandenburgs first monograph On a Good Day brings together his London street portraits from the 1970 80s capturing the decades the style, mood and tone.
In his afterward for the book Martin Barnes, Senior Curator of the V&A, notes that Vandenberg sees all this with a sincere and perceptive eye and a sensitive understanding of character, regardless of social standing and cultural background… Every picture in this book is imbued with a positive, uplifting intention. He was gifted with somehow being able to strike a rapport with, and feel empathy for, his subjects almost instantly.
