Sinead O'Connor

December 1987   London

A very young and very innocent Sinead O'Connor shortly before the release of her first album, The Lion and The Cobra.

I deliberately lit this as a homage to the glory days of Hollywood stills photography and even used to print the image with a stocking over the lens to produce a soft glow!

The small bruise under Sinead's left eye is from where she was punched in the face by a bouncer in Newcastle a couple of days previously.

Innocent but still able to provoke controversy at the drop of a hat!
