David Bailey

David Bailey is one of my favourite photographers. I love the way he captures his subjects in such a unique way than what any other photographer would. I love his work from the 60s and 70s best, as this is when Bailey was at the peak of his career in my eyes. His images were so different to any other photographer around at the time. He managed to combine a contemporary feel to his images whilst shooting them in black and white to maintain a traditional, simple feel. His subjects always seem to be relaxed and comfortable in front of him. He pays special attention to detail in his images, each one seems to be carefully thought out but still remains to maintain a simple composition.
