I first met David Farrell in 1993, when I was researching the history of movie stills photography. Farrell's career as an outstanding film stills man has not been as widely recognised as his other, earlier photographic work. However, his naturally easy-going manner was ideally suited to the task, and he excelled in this field, producing not only the required portraits and scene stills, but also many revealing and spontaneous behind-the-scenes shots of director, stars and film crews at work.
He is probably best known for his photos of Peter Sellers on two of the Pink Panther movies, though they are often uncredited. He first met Sellers when the actor visited the set of the 1976 film Mohammad, Messenger of God, on location in north Africa. A camera enthusiast himself, Sellers had brought with him his latest acquisition, a new slimline Polaroid camera. Farrell spent some time with the star, sharing his ideas...

Photographer celebrated for his informal portraits of artists, actors and musicians
David Farrell, who has died aged 93, was known primarily for his photographic portraits of the most prominent artists, actors, authors and, particularly, musicians of his time. These ranged from classical performers such as Yehudi Menuhin, Ravi Shankar and Jacqueline du Pré to Louis Armstrong, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He would take his portable darkroom with him to filming locations, where he photographed Albert Finney, Julie Christie, Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson, among others. His main body of work dates from the mid-1950s to the 1980s, by which time he was working primarily in cinema, but he continued with his photography well into the digital age.
Taking Henri Cartier-Bresson's "humanitarian" photography as his model, Farrell specialised in taking portraits in informal situations – he preferred to photograph artists at home or in the studio, rather than in...

Prolific novelist best known for 633 Squadron, his book that was turned into a classic second world war film in 1964
The film 633 Squadron (1964) is a classic among second world war movies, despite what many see as wooden acting from its leads, Cliff Robertson, George Chakiris and Maria Perschy. Frederick E Smith, who has died aged 93, wrote the book upon which it was based. He did not consider it to be among his best novels, but acknowledged that it was the one with which his name would always be associated.
In the 1956 novel, the (fictional) air squadron is sent to aid the efforts of the Norwegian resistance, originally flying Douglas Boston bombers before they are re-equipped with the Mosquitos that were to become a striking aspect of the film. The squadron undertakes a doomed mission to bomb a well-protected German hydro-electric plant at the head of a Norwegian fjord, the novel ending...
