Sylvia and Ted “interrupted in a spat,” Chalot Square, London, July 25, 1960 photographed by Hans Beacham for a portfolio of images of British writers“They were sullen. Hughes was rude. He was going to get more attention than she, and she didn’t like that while he did. He invited me outside and told me I needed to know that he loathed photographers”. Hughes particularly wanted to keep Plath out of the way. “His wish, of course, forced me to photograph them together”, Beacham said; and later; Hughes acknowledged that he had been “an ogre.”—Diane Middlebrook, Her Husband: Hughes and Plath-a Marriage, 2003 -- source link
