David Bailey, (born January 2,
1938, London, England), British
Andy Gotts is a photographer
based in London, England, and
New York, USA. He is most
noted for his black and white
portraits of Hollywood actors
and iconic musicians.
The visionary artist wasn’t to
know quite how prophetic his
words would be, given the
subsequent rise of celebritydom

photographs. Bailey’s fashion
work and celebrity portraiture,
characterized by stark
backgrounds and dramatic
lighting effects, transformed
British fashion and celebrity
photography from chic but
reserved stylization to
