Call me too far gone to the point of no return
Hmm, it seems to be scanned from an article somewhere, interesting that nobody is able to find it. I could swear that I saw that picture somewhere already but it could also be that it was just the same snippet without context.

It's clearly from a magazine or newspaper - you can see the lettering on the next page bleeding through. My money is on some random journo.

If you flip the image and adjust the contrast you can read some of the writing from the other side of the page, and it does not appear to be in English - from the word 'Leben' I presume it's from a German article?
Sean Duggan?

Could it be from this?
I believe David & I went through a pile of information in 2021 to come up with (in no way complete):
(I think the camera on shoulder was discounted as being him).

Don't recall seeing this one in previous searching:
Edit: large image from: https://blitzmagazine.co.uk/img/issues/85/files/page/9.png
— British video director, Tim Broad, best known for his work with The Smiths and @morrisseyofficial, died of AIDS in 1993 at the age of 38.
Photographed by Gino Sprio and interviewed by David Davies for @blitzmagazineuk No 85 January 1990.
"There's no going back," says Tim Broad, "there's nothing else I want to do. I love making music videos. I see them as films."
Not that such an attitude stops him from wanting to be a great feature film director by the age of 50.
"I want to make films that engage people's emotions. A good film engrosses you, it can make you cry, make you laugh, it can make me anxious and politically rebellious and apply the same criteria to making videos. And why not? Why go for anything less?"
Broad has a mean talent for producing the kind of videos you remember. Morrissey's “Suedehead” tribute to James Dean. The beach beauty of @deaconbluemusic’s 'Dignity.’ And most recently Morrissey's forest frolicking “Ouija Board.’
Broad attributes such success to the rapport he develops with the music makers. “I apply my skills to building the image the artist wants and that requires a lot of empathy," he says, “which probably happens because I'm not pretentious and I'm honest."
Such empathy has meant that Morrissey won't work with any other video director. It has also put, among other things, a £1,000 leather jacket on Broad's back. “I spend my money very rapidly; he admits, “and I couldn't feel guilt about it."

My first thought was Alain. I found this blog page photo of Morrissey wearing the cuffless shirt and the boots and with the quiff point coming over the forehead so if anyone recognises this photoshoot it might give some clues.

Last of the famous international screw ups.
This photo taken from a Your Arsenal instore appearance in America. haircut fits the timeline.yeah, the frayed jeans where a flag to me too.
But I don’t remember his hair being shaved that close and high up, in 92.
I judge it by these photos in 89 …

Believe it or not I for once agree with this smooth brain.
In store was Vinyl Solution, 1992.(Sideburns were shaped later in the year).

(Sideburns were shaped later in the year).
Yep. That, with the frayed jeans. Definitely puts him in the early 92 frame.

think the frayed jeans gave it away. I should have followed my initial impression, rather than wrongly pursuing the haircut, which to me also resembles the style he had briefly in 89.
There was an interview in the German magazine Spex in 1992 that took place in Paris - info from this post:
Non-english Moz/Smiths interviews/articles (some are translated, some not)
I`ve some in japanese,german,dutch etc.most of them are translated now!1st one is a italian interview (not a tranlated one from a british mag-i assume by going through it) where english translation is needed for those who do not speak italian... the french inrock articles are very intersting...

Interviewer is listed as Sascha Lazimbat
