Three young men sit around a table inside a coffee bar. The men wear jeans and zip up jackets. One has a crash helmet on the stool next to him and the one nearest the counter combs his hair. There is a jukebox to the left and a counter clad in bamboo to the right.
Fred Wilfred worked as Chief Photographer for Hawker Siddeley Aviation during the 1950s. In 1963 he started his own commercial and portrait studio in Hampton Hill. Wilfred was a member of the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society and a founder member of the London Portrait Group. Acclaimed for his portraiture and wedding photography, his documentary work, like this photograph, has remained largely unseen.
