  • The pictures from the first professional photo session that the young David
    Beckham submitted himself to are extraordinary. He has a barely suppressed
    smile, as though he and the cameraman are complicit in the understanding
    that this is not yet David Beckham we see and that there is an element of
    deceit in selling the photographs as such
