New photo book: Langans Brasserie by Celebrity photographer Richard Young

Celebrity photographer and London photo gallery owner Richard Young has published a new book titled Langans Brasserie.

In time for the re-opening of the most iconic restaurant in the world, Richard’s book documents his years as a uniquely trusted insider and friend to the stars who frequented the world-famous Mayfair brasserie.

Full of the glamour and gossip of the time, the book tells a visual story of global celebrities from the world of film, art, fashion, music and sport – the good, the bad and the beautiful – who dined at this most remarkable restaurant and made it their playground for over three decades.

With an introduction from the original founders, Richard Shepherd and Michael Caine, along with the story of how the inimitable Peter Langan, the original rogue, rose and (repeatedly) fell within its walls, Richard Young’s candid photographer’s eye captures the unguarded moments – both elegant and decadent, often both, but always fun – of those years.
