Bailey on home turf in London's East End: a democratic vision of its people, places and buildings Born and bred in London's East End, David Bailey (born 1938) has returned to visit and photograph his home turf again and again over the decades: "I've watched it slowly fade with time, from a city being bombed in the Blitz to a smoking ember of what it once was." Road to Barkingis Bailey's latest portrait of the East End, specifically the diverse borough of Barking and Dagenham, described by the leader of its council, Darren Rodwell, as "the last bastion of working-class London where traditional Cockney mingles with over 120 languages from around the world." From buskers, flower sellers and butchers to snow-dusted stone angels in a cemetery and abandoned boats on the edge of the Thames, from yawning passengers on the Tube to police officers and punks and all in between, Bailey's vision is loving and democratic.

1980s Polaroids of small-town a rare take on the country’s landscape and people from David Bailey David Bailey’s (born 1938) love letter to Australia, Bailey’s Matilda is no rosy portrait of “the lucky country,” but a gritty yet affectionate vision of rural and small-town Australia in the early 1980 black-and-white images of a dead cockatoo, kangaroo and sheep, of painted advertising for Queensland’s beloved XXXX beer, of a gravestone and dead tree trunks against a lead sky. His human subjects are the Indigenous people of Australia, not the descendants of its white colonists. Bailey embraces all the flaws and accidents of his prints―their blurrings, smudges and stains―and enhances them with his own scribbles and crops, creating painterly results. In his own words it’s all about “This book should have been washed up in a bottle on the sea shore.”

David Bailey's loving homage to his wife, in Polaroids taken over nearly 40 years For the past 38 years, David Bailey (born 1938) has photographed his wife Catherine using Polaroid film. Developing organically over the decades, a book grew with no specific purpose in mind. The result is this visual poem, a witness to their working collaborations and personal adventures. In Bailey's words: "The years went by with great ease and charm. I have been lucky to have such a willing and beautiful subject in my wife and partner in this adventure we have shared together. It came about not by making a plan. All my good ideas seem to happen by accident. My books start with a vague idea, then grow into something I never knew ... the average Polaroid takes a few minutes to develop. This book has taken nearly 40 years."
