Having a Swim
As Johnny Thornton recounts, "This image was shot at Snr Alphonso Libano's beach villa in Menorca; the idea of a girl with jewellery in a Titanic life ring is self-explanatory. This was seen by Smirnoff and I returned to Menorca to shoot it again this time holding a cocktail. When this was turned into a 48 sheet poster, it received loads of publicity most of it saying "It was in bad taste", as they say, "Any publicity is good publicity"."
"I am a total failure in life having tried to kill myself three times, and I am still alive."
