Eye-opening and candid, David Bailey's Look Again is a
fantastically entertaining memoir by a true icon. 'Rollicking . . .
with roguish tales as vivid as his era-defining photos' - Daily
Mail 'Brilliant' - Telegraph David Bailey burst onto the scene in
1960 with his revolutionary photographs for Vogue. Discarding the
rigid rules of a previous generation of portrait and fashion
photographers, he channelled the energy of London's newly informal
street culture into his work. Funny, brutally honest and
ferociously talented, he became as famous as his subjects. Now in
his eighties, he looks back on an outrageously eventful life. Born
into an East End family, his dyslexia saw him written off as stupid
at school. He hit a low point working as a debt collector until he
discovered a passion for photography that would change everything.
The working-class boy became an influential artist. Along the way
he became friends with Mick Jagger, hung out with the Krays, got
into bed with Andy Warhol and made the Queen laugh. His love-life
was never dull. He propelled girlfriend Jean Shrimpton to stardom,
while her angry father threatened to shoot him. He married
Catherine Deneuve a month after meeting her. Penelope Tree's mother
was unimpressed when he turned up on her doorstep. 'It could be
worse, I could be a Rolling Stone,' Bailey told her. He went on to
marry Marie Helvin and then Catherine Dyer, with whom he has three
children. He is also a film and documentary director, has shot
numerous commercials and has never stopped working. A born
storyteller, his autobiography is a memorable romp through an
extraordinary career.
