David Royston Bailey CBE (born 2 January 1938) is regarded as one of the best British photographers. Born in the east end, he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, then photographer for John Coles 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 watched the film about David Bailey when he was working for the Vogue Magazine, it gave me a detailed insight into the fashion industry and showed me some of the good and bad points about the business.
It made me realise about how important it is to stick to briefs however it also taught me to be unique, like Bailey did. The editorial industry is a very tricky business. A very interesting watch and a great film!
