David Royston Bailey (born 2 January 1938) is regarded as one of the best British photographers. Born in the East End, he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, then photographer for John Cole's Studio Five before being contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine in 1960.This is a photograph by David Bailey taken in 2011 of Jack Nickleson, a well known Hollywood actor. In this picture I feel that David Bailey is trying to capture the emotion of Jack Nickleson and maybe showing another side to him, not just his famous hollywood side. David Bailey does this by using different lighting and getting Jack Nickleson to do this facial expression. In this portraiture photograph David Bailey uses front lighting (shining light from the side), I feel he does this so that half of Jack Nickleson's face is dark maybe to show a meaning that Jack Nickleson has a dark side.
This analysis is good, but is not as in-depth as some of the analysis you have written before. Please could you expand this and Andre Kertesz, using the notes taken in class and the help sheets.
