Here are some of my favorite photographs, by the great David Bailey. In 1959 he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio before being contracted as a fashion photographer for Vogue magazine in 1960. He also did a large amount of freelance work.
he captured, and in many ways helped create the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. He was friends with some of the influential people of the day. He and Jean Shrimpton were the dynamic duo of the age: photographer and model.
