In the 1970s he was Paul Parsons in Ritz and Sam Hopper in Vogue. Today, his playful, punning, name- and place-dropping pieces appear in a variety of newspapers and magazines; he also files erudite book reviews for Literary Review and The Spectator, in which he often also writes the diary.

When Young sold his first celebrity photograph (of Paul Getty Jr) in 1974, newspapers didn't want celebrity photographers, because they didn't think their readers wanted celebrities. Wild rock'n'roll parties held by the Beatles and the Stones mostly went unrecorded. "It's a crying shame," says Young now, "because there'd have been great stuff to shoot then.
