title: David Bailey: Bailey's Stardust
author: David Bailey
description: The connective thread throughout the exhibit and tome is Bailey's ability to portray a person's essence--without the use of elaborate costumes, props or high-concept staging. He's the glossy lensman with a documentarian's touch. (Jason Chen <i>Departures</i>)<br /><br />From Mick Jagger to Kate Moss to Jack Nicholson, David Bailey has notoriously photographed some of the most famous talents of our time. However, in his new book and accompanying exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, entitled BAILEY'S STARDUST, the distinguished lensman unveils many lesser-known and previously unseen images from his archives. (<i>V Magazine</i>)<br /><br />'Bailey's Stardust,' published to coincide with a David Bailey retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery, in London, the 76-year-old photographer shepherds us from the East End streets of his youth to his north London studio and over to Paris, Delhi, and the coastal cities of Queensland, Australia.
