One of the first celebrity photographers, David Bailey socialized
with many of the cultural icons of the 60s - he lived with Mick
Jagger, married the legendary French film actress Catherine Deneuve
and had relationships with the models Jean Shrimpton and Penelope
Tree. Along with Brian Duffy and Terence Donovan, he was one of the
'Terrible Trio' - self-taught East End boys who rebelled against
the precious style of fashion portraiture as practiced by society
photographers like Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson. His own fame
was confirmed when director Michelangelo Antonioni used him as
inspiration for the character of fast-living photographer Thomas
Hemmings in cult film "Blow-Up" (1966).
Outside the world of fashion photography, Bailey has pursued
numerous personal and commercial projects; documenting the
streetscapes of London, photographing the people and places of
Havana, Cuba, and producing an intimate series of portraits of
model Catherine Bailey, his current wife. He has also created
record-sleeve art, feature films, documentaries and around 500
commercials. The vigour and variety of his work has made him the
subject of numerous exhibitions, including a major traveling show
that opened at the Barbican, London, in 1999 entitled "The Birth of
Cool."
This handsome monograph provides an overview of Bailey's career,
including works from key monographs such as his debut "Box of
Pin-Ups" (1964) and the controversial series "The Lady is a Tramp"
(1995). The book, on a photographer whose reputation only continues
to grow, will appeal to all photography enthusiasts and students,
and to anyone with an interest in popular culture of the 1960s
onwards.
