Baby boomers
People who had babies after the war
Forced to go to the army
Limited food
Struggled from education from learning difficulties
Taking pics of birds
Very well established photographers
His passion for photography was fuelled by his enjoyment, photographing birds as a child
When he was sent to the Royal airforce and deported to syngapor he bought a cheap medium format camera
After finishing his years in service he pursued his photography career and got his first paid job shooting a friends wedding
Decided he wanted to work for a photographer, he wanted either Jon French or Armstrong Jones
He worked with French
Left French in April 1960
He got his first big job at the daily express
Images created from this job were instantly recognised as influential and and inspired other photographers very quickly
Vogue then offered Bailey a job, he then refused and made him another offer of which he took
Within 8 months of joining vogue, he published his first cover photo
He lived with his model, and photographed her almost exclusively until 1964
