More quotes by David Bailey
Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.

In '73 I photographed the cannibals in New Guinea. They treated me OK but they didn't make you feel relaxed... I managed to escape unscathed though, I'm pretty good at that.
David Bailey
The reason I did fashion was it was the only way to get paid to do anything creative. You couldn't support yourself as an 'artist' - I hate that word. The only way you could be 'arty' was as a fashion photographer, because it still had a certain amount of integrity involved.
David Bailey
You have to kind of be invisible when you photograph children, so you use a longer lens.
David Bailey
I didn't try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.
David Bailey
