In 1965, portrait and fashion photographer
David Bailey released his
groundbreaking book Box Of Pin-Ups, securing him as the hip tastemaker for 1960s London cool. With Mick Jagger his best man at his wedding to Catherine Deneuve, Bailey was also the inspiration for the classic movie
Blow-Up. From the Swinging ’60s to the present day, Bailey has never stopped working and pushing the boundaries of his
signature in-your-face portraiture and is widely regarded as one of the
great postwar photographers.
This big book of Bailey is
the culmination of an incredible career, the result of
two years’ worth of research into his personal archives. Through penetrating pictures of the beautiful and the notorious, the idolized and the powerful, friends and family, writers, artists, and fellow photographers, Bailey presents a
sweeping cultural history of the last 60 years. Featured subjects include
Andy Warhol,
Salvador Dalí,
Kate Moss,
Nelson Mandela,
Francis Bacon,
Zaha Hadid, t
he Rolling Stones,
Jack Nicholson,
Brigitte Bardot,
Margaret Thatcher, and hundreds more.
As his friend
Damien Hirst writes in the foreword: “He’s the master of his art and he’s created a mind-blowing visual language.” Additional text includes a three-part essay on Bailey’s portraiture by noted photography critic
Francis Hodgson.

one of the most recognizable faces of 1960s Swinging London, she inevitably featured in Bailey’s game-changing
Box Of Pin-Ups. “She was magic. In a way she was the cheapest model in the world—you only needed to shoot half a roll of film and then you had it,” said Bailey.
