Escape from gritty East London seemed unlikely until he picked up a Rolleiflex during his stint in the National Service. Three years later, in 1960, he was under contract at British <em>Vogue<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prodigiously talented, Bailey was also wildly charismatic and uncommonly pretty, a high-octane amalgam that no doubt fueled his meteoric rise. Soon, he was chronicling, and surfing, the cultural tsunami that transformed London in the Swinging Sixties, when young creatives from music, fashion, advertising, theater, film, TV and journalism toppled the British establishment to become the new royalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-950x634.jpg\" alt=\" John Lennon &amp; Paul McCartney, 1965\" class=\"wp-image-335295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-950x634.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-524x350.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173-1398x933.jpg 1398w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_GB_OPEN-0108-0109_03173.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption> <em>John Lennon &amp; Paul McCartney<\/em>, 1965.

Bailey snapped all these revolutionary aristos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/john-lennon-art\/\">John Lennon<\/a> and Paul McCartney, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/mick-jagger-art\/\">Mick Jagger<\/a>, Michael Caine, Tom Stoppard and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/david-hockney\/art\/\">David Hockney<\/a>. Each and every one looks impossibly dewy and fresh and brims with an entirely modern derring-do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, too, do \u201cthe beautiful birds,\u201d as Bailey called the alluring models and actresses who defined that decade: the exquisite Jean \u201cShrimp\u201d Shrimpton, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/brigitte-bardot-photographs\/\">Brigitte Bardot,<\/a> Jeanne Moreau, Catherine Deneuve.

To this day, he can\u2019t explain how he works his magic, although he does liken it to shamanic conjuring. He makes no secret that he spends most of his time gabbing with his subject \u2014 he\u2019s curious about everyone. Sometimes, the chatter is a seduction; occasionally, it becomes good-naturedly pugilistic. And then, in mere moments, the individual is sized and seized by his camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his playboy persona and lucrative work in fashion advertising, Bailey has always possessed real psychological depth and artistic ambition. In the book, you see it develop in his increasingly complex portraits of women, especially those of his fourth and present wife, Catherine Dyer, and daughter Paloma. Also moving is how he has continued to lovingly photograph his exes, like Shrimpton and Deneuve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/black-white-photography\/david-bailey-david-bailey-sumo-art-edition-book-taschen\/id-a_4139332\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173.jpg\" alt=\"David Bailey SUMO book with photos of Jean Shrimpton, 1965; Mick Jagger, 1964; Andy Warhol, 1965\" class=\"wp-image-335293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-489x350.jpg 489w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-950x680.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-1536x1099.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-2048x1466.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/BAILEY_CE_IMAGE004_03173-1304x933.jpg 1304w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>An art edition of the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/black-white-photography\/david-bailey-david-bailey-sumo-art-edition-book-taschen\/id-a_4139332\/\">David Bailey<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/black-white-photography\/david-bailey-david-bailey-sumo-art-edition-book-taschen\/id-a_4139332\/\"> SUMO<\/a> book perches on its Mark Newson\u2013designed stand.

More recently, portraits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/zaha-hadid\/art\/\">Zaha Hadid<\/a> and Marina Abramovi\u0107 show these women as girlish, with the kinds of smiles that finish a bout of giggles, but not in a way that strips them of their stature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly touching is how lovingly and playfully Bailey has shot gay men. There are two photos of him in bed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/andy-warhol\/art\/\">Andy Warhol,<\/a> who is pretending to be asleep. Other portraits of Warhol in the book strip him of his psychic mask but without leaving him bare.
