Portrait Research- David Bailey

  David Bailey is an English photographer, regarded as one of the nation's best.
He became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, then photographer for John Cole's Studio Five before being contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine in 1960. Along with Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy, he captured and helped create the 'Swinging London' of the 1960s. In 2012, the BBC made a film of the story of his 1962 New York photoshoot with Jean Shrimpton.


 I really like how he has done these celebraity portraits.I love them in black and white and the texture on them. I feel the way he has done these he has caught there personalitys and has given a fun element to the way he has taken the pictures.  I will be looking in on how he uses the light to get the shadows on the side of there faces as i really like it.

This is a beautiful picture but i do seam to be drawn to pictures that are clear and sharp but i like the way the gold changes when i first saw this picture i thought the gold lips had another clear amber substance to them, before i relised it was the light and reflections.
