Dionne, Amy’s goddaughter, brought out the inner child in us all. We played on the beach by the Caribbean Sea with her often. Dionne packed the sand as Amy unwound from any stress that lingered.

Amy Winehouse #2 - Peace

Karl Lagerfeld was very fond of Amy and invited her to perform at the reopening of the Fendi store in Paris. At first, the serious fashion crowd was unsure of her but she soon won them over with her quick wit and effortlessly serenaded them like a rare bird.

Amy Winehouse #3 - Siren

Amy loved classic 1950’s pin-up girl poses. While we walked along the ocean that morning, she climbed up on a rock at the edge of the water and asked me to capture her posed in a similar fashion.

Note: This photograph was Amy's favorite image that Blake Wood took of her and was the only portrait of herself that she owned and displayed in her home.

Amy Winehouse #4 - Monument

Amy had a unique bond with the horses that we rode in Saint Lucia. Riding on the beach and through trails gave her a sense of freedom that she longed for. This portrait was taken in the afternoon as we waited for the rest of our group to join us.

Note:  This photograph appears on the book cover of *Amy Winehouse. Blake Wood* published by TASCHEN in 2018. This is a dynamic NFT that autonomously fades to a memorial in July and fades back to the portrait in mid-September, as a remembrance of Amy's life.

Amy Winehouse #1 - Memorial

Photographer Blake Wood met Amy Winehouse at the peak of her career, and for two years they became inseparable friends. This collection of NFTs records their time together, spanning private moments in London, Paris, and St. Lucia. These previously unseen photographs capture a rare and lighter side of this much-missed icon, and are an intimate homage to Winehouse as she wanted to see herself.
