Nina Simone by Francine Winham

Photographer: Francine Winham
Location: Newport
Edition: 30
Date: 1965

"Nina was a fiery personality, uncompromising supporter of women’s and civil rights. Often she would walk off stage if something upset her - and not return! Soon after I took this shot, a friend told me she was looking for a photographer to go on tour with her. It had to be a woman, and being one of only a few, I thought I stood a chance…only to discover I had to be black too!"
