David Bailey

 David has used black and white and has taken this photo in a studio, you can tell this by looking at her eyes. The models head gear contrasts with the black leotard she is wearing.
Davids picture of Jude Law has lots of attitude. The triangles lead the viewers eyes in to the center of the image which is the face and the cigarette between his lips.David Bailey has taken this picture in a studio, again, you can tell this by the subjects eyes.  Also you can tell by the lighting in this photograph that it was taken in a studio. David prefers to use black and white photography.

David has taken this photo in the studio, he has used a plain white background to give tone on the models face, which makes triangles. The triangles lead the viewer to the subjects eyes. The fact that the subject of the portrait is wearing black clothing highlights his face.  David Bailey is the most renowned portrait photographer in the UK. 


 David Bailey has done a portrait of jack Nicholson. As Jack was known to be a druggie, David has tried to express the true nature of the subject and his past experiences in the composition of the image. As Jack was called a psychopath, this would give the impression that he might be acting like a stereotypical druggie or when looking at the image we are seeing his true, personality at the time picture was taken.
This photograph of Johnny Depp captures his face perfectly.  He describes himself as a chameleon who can play any part.  This photograph shows his true self, without any pretense.  Again the subject is wearing black, or a dark colour which shows his face to its best advantage.  David Bailey has done this by creating triangles within the photograph, by the neckline on the top and the way his arms are positioned.
David Bailey has taken this picture of Mick Jagger outside. You can tell this by the background and the shadows on Micks face.  The wall looks textured.  The two parts of the wall that are visible make triangular shapes.
