BAILEY David (Photographer)

Jean Shrimpton, the face of the early 1960s, shares a confidence with Cecil Beaton, photographer, illustrator, costume designer and writer, whose influence on fashion spanned forty years. The photograph is by David Bailey. His shots of Jean Shrimpton, who he first met in 1960 and with whom he had a relationship for four years, let the world into an intimate bond between photographer and model. Bailey, who was regarded as a bad boy, used few models and developed long working relationships with them. His reluctance to be categorized as a fashion photographer is justified by time: those fashion shots now stand as legendary portraits in themselves. As Marie Helvin, model and former wife, put it, "...the very essence of Bailey's style is his refusal to allow his models to be simply clothes hangers or his pictures moments of fashion. He photographs women wearing clothes".
