david bailey

 1959 he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, and in May 1960, he was a photographer for John Cole's Studio Five before being contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine later that year.^{[2][page needed]} He also undertook a large amount of freelance work.^[3]
Along with Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy, he captured and helped create the 'Swinging London' of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. The three photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers. The film Blowup (1966), directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, concerns the work and sexual habits of a London fashion photographer played by David Hemmings and is largely based on Bailey.^{[citation needed]}
The 'Swinging London' scene was aptly reflected in his Box of Pin-Ups (1964): a box of poster-prints of 1960s celebrities and socialites including Terence Stamp, The Beatles, and notorious East End gangsters the Kray twins (see photo).
The box was an unusual and unique commercial release, and it reflected the changing status of the photographer that one could sell a collection of prints in this way. (The strong objection to the presence of the Krays on the part of fellow photographer Lord Snowdon was the major reason no American edition of the "Box" ever appeared, nor a British second edition issued.)
Of supermodel Jean Shrimpton, Bailey said:

She was magic and the camera loved her too. In a way she was the cheapest model in the world - you only needed to shoot half a roll of film and then you had it. She had the knack of having her hand in the right place, she knew where the light was, she was just a natural.^[3]

As well as fashion photography, Bailey has been responsible for record album sleeve art for performers including The Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. One of Bailey's most famous works depicts the Rolling Stones. It features Brian Jones, who drowned in 1969 while under the influence of drink and drugs. He is seen standing slightly apart from the rest of the group.^[3]
Bailey was hired in 1970 by Island Records' Chris Blackwell to shoot publicity photos of Cat Stevens for his upcoming album Tea for the Tillerman, in 1970. Stevens, (now known as Yusuf Islam) maintans that he disliked having his photo on the cover of his albums, as had previously been the case. Looking back, he described it as the beginning of his "poster pin-up celebrity phase", although he gave consent to allow Bailey's photographs to be placed on the inner sleeve of the album.^[4]
Bailey has also directed several television commercials and documentaries.
In 1976, Bailey published Ritz Newspaper together with David Litchfield.^{[5][dead link]}
Bailey was awarded the CBE in 2001.^[3]
In 2005, he was involved in a feature titled "British Rule" for GQ, charting the British influence on rock n' roll, photographing several artists including Paul Weller, Jarvis Cocker, Razorlight, Brian Eno, M.I.A., Ian Brown, The Futureheads, Belle & Sebastian, Damon Albarn, Dizzee Rascal, Kaiser Chiefs, Robyn Hitchcock, Super Furry Animals, and Colin Blunstone for the spread.^[6]
He maintains that his style of photography remains the same:

I've always tried to do pictures that don't date. I always go for simplicity

The style used by David bailey is also of a portrait type, there are numerous partially differences between our styles. In this case for example each picture is carefully constructed to amplify celebrity status, to project a certain look, every detail has been constructed down to the specific clothes, angle of body, face etc.Even the mise en scene i.e. ever colour, the exposure type and time lighting, ISO levels, tints, retouching (although not so much in this earlier work as the technology level was not really available). This type of forced direction was not used in my type of photographic portraits to anywhere near the same degree. Although i di manipulated the basic photographic elements and occasionally gave a few seconds warning before a photo was taken the composition of the focal points (the people!) is randomised i know who will be in the frame, for the most part! but there positioning was rarely prompted in any way and the specific positioning of angels and movement was deliberately not controlled so i could capture a genuine moment in time.

henri cartier bresson

paris photographer similar to your work, social events of the day,
Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a Frenchphotographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the "street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed

This style of photography captures decisive moments in time, as most of my work from both theme's incorporates these ideals i thought it was important to incorporate Bresson into this blog his style differs from mine in a variety of ways the basic composition of the top two photos incorporates the main characters or focal points in a central location each piece of the photos is consistent with this style the characters are straight in alignment and this more precise style is accompanied by a monotone range (black and white) this adds to the clarity of the image especially in the case of the stripped shirt in the second photo as well as giving it an over all classic old world style which was in his early work the only option, each photo in this case shows a specific event, such as a picnic or the couple kissing with the dog looking up. we both use a portrait style of photography and both try to capture certain moments in time but my work is more eclectic in style and the main characters don't always take up the central axis of the photo, i have also used black and white shots but the tone and colour to most of my work is more natural. i also use other styles such as (sometimes) deliberate motion blur.
