David Bailey CBE (born January 2, 1938 in Leytonstone, London) is a British photographer and director who is regarded as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th century. Bailey became especially famous for his work in the Swinging Sixties, when he worked for British Vogue and, with his spontaneous, direct images, revolutionized the style of fashion photography.
Bailey's iconic portraits of models, musicians, and film stars—including Jean Shrimpton, Mick Jagger, the Beatles, and many others—shaped the visual image of the 1960s and 1970s and made him a chronicler of the cultural changes of that era. His work encompasses fashion, celebrity, and documentary photography, characterized by a clear, pared-down style and innovative visual language.
In addition to his photographic work, Bailey also worked as a director for advertising and documentary films and published numerous photo books, including Box of Pin-ups (1965), Goodbye Baby & Amen (1969), and later retrospective collections that document his extensive oeuvre.
David Bailey is frequently described as a symbolic figure of British photography. His works are represented in major collections and exhibitions worldwide and continue to influence generations of photographers.
