That’s not Pete Murphy.
Mr Murphy was the model employed for the UK promotional materials for Maxell. The UK/Murphy photo’s & video feature three ‘flying ducks’ on the back wall and the lamp is hanging from the ceiling. Also Murphy is far more upright in the Corbusier chair. Probably didn’t want to hide his cheekbones.
Your picture shows the (altered) original photograph by Steve Steigman used in the US. The model in this photograph was a make-up artist originally hired for the shoot named Jack, as Steigman thought his hair suited the image he was after.
