Public Work

Click on each individual image for full-preview.

On this page, I have some image displays - firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has made these images available (whether fellow archivists, archives, personal-discovery, stumbling upon them in the tiny corners of the internet), and secondly, I would like to state I am not the photographer of any of these - I am simply preserving them and making them available to the public, as photographs are prone to get lost through the cracks of the internet.

Please email briannachay@hotmail.com or use the attached contact for to obtain a watermark-free copy. Will also perform colourization, format adjusting (e.g. JPG to PNG), and restoring upon request. Don't forget these are just a few (and I mean, a miniscule amount of examples!), and I have stills, videos, magazines, scans, articles, interviews, and a myriad of other things available.

Ask, and you shall receive!

You will receive restored, highest-quality, master images - these previews are only to give you an idea. After your items are delivered, compare them to previews (which I will also provide) and view them as a before-and-after makeover.

Here is an example of a before-and-after restoration:

And here are some previews:

Please include image code. 🙃

Also, for best viewing experience, I suggest that you select an image (to set in pop-up mode) and use your arrows to navigate.

Paul McCartney, of The Beatles, in “Strawberry Fields Forever”. Note the similarities between this outfit and that which his animated figure wears in the 1968 film, “Yellow Submarine”.

Tony Hicks, guitarist for The Hollies, with British Samantha Juste, “Disc Girl” on Top of The Pops. They dated for some time, but the relationship ended because she was (reportedly) pursuing marriage, yet he wasn’t ready. She went on to marry Micky Dolenz of the Monkees.

British singer Davy Jones, of the Monkees, with Scottish singer Donovan. 

This is Jim Yester of the vocal group, The Association. His brother is Jerry Yester, who joined the Lovin’ Spoonful. 

The Byrds, revolutionary Folk-Rock group responsible for taking “Turn! Turn! Turn!” And “Mr Tambourine Man” to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Tony Hicks (of the Hollies) with Olivia Harrison (widow of George Harrison, of the Beatles.)

Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, with Paul McCartney of the Beatles and Paul’s beloved pooch, Martha. For those that don’t know, she was the “Martha” in “Martha My Dear”.

"In 1968 we had the best Christmas present... a number one hit record - (Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da). The group promised to wear kilts if ever they got to number one... except me of course being English. The group spent all day in their kilts and like true Scotsmen had nothing on underneath...(and) during the final rehearsal the group thought it would be fun to do the Can-can... Remember, the show went out live in those days. The producer was horrified to think of the Marmalade’s block and tackle seen by 20 million viewers, so when we came to perform as we rushed onto the set I noticed all the cameras had little stickers on them saying: "When Marmalade are performing shoot waist up only".... true story" - Alan Whitehead (Image credit also belongs to him!)
