David Bailey is a British fashion and portrait photographer. He was most famous for his photography during the 1960's and 70's, shooting famous musicians and fashion models such as Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, and was often featured in magazines such as Vogue. I chose him for this project because I wanted to try to encompass a vintage fashion look in my photos and capture the same energy and essence which his portraits have, with a digital camera rather than film. I tried to do a mix of black & white and color photos because he has done both in his time, but tried to make sure the colors were subdued like vintage photos would be. I tried to have my model encompass a 1960's Twiggy-style look as well as took the photos in Albany so that I could have a city background, which is how many of Bailey's photos are. This project was challenging because it was definitely the most intensive editing I've had to do on my photos so far, in order to replicate Bailey's style.
