David Bailey - Photographer

[Yppe]

I love the Swinging London era, and Bailey is one of the most representative photographers of the era, but trying to find pics, I can't see many fashion pictures, which I'd love to see, only portraits of famous people, or some fashion pictures with Jean Shrimpton.
What do you think about him? Please post pics wich you like.

"The first and most obvious thing to do is to ooze awareness - and really look and act as if you know what you are doing. That means knowing your camera backwards: never fiddle with it during a shooting session - load it, focus it, fire it, but never fiddle. And get your background sorted out well before its time to press the shutter. Choose where you're going to do your portrait shooting, and place your subject there without dithering." David Bailey, English Portrait and Fashion Photographer.

Thanks!

I love especially the P. Tree pic with her hair braided, but my fav is the one I posted before of Jean Shrimpton and Ossie Clark.

About the quote posted, it's interesting to see how big photographer got interested about it, it seems that a lot of times it is because of the work of other great professionals.

David Bailey's wife Catherine continues to be one of his favorite subjects. She was a model when he married her. Since she doesn't have her own thread in Supporting Cast I'll post the photos I scanned of her here.

And just for fun, here's a fairly recent photo of the sexy, swinging, and infamous David Bailey -- and his lovely wife. (source: epi-centre.com)

The first time I was made aware of Bailey, was in 2003, I saw his somewhat controversial "Vagina Exhibition" with Rankin in London. I had properly seen some of his work before, but never knew it was him. So through clinically close up shoots of vaginas, a Clam and a flower thrown in the mix, I was introduced to David Bailey!

An interesting article on the Rankin + Bailey exhibition(2003) Here!
