Les Heros du Rock and Roll

[David Bailey]

David Bailey is the most rock and roll of photographers. His photographs of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the sixties have concreted the bands' images in print. In the years since, Bailey has continued to photograph figures from the world of rock and pop. His portraits are collected here and include images of the Stones, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Queen, Miles Davies, Patti Smith, the Who, David Bowie and many more. The French edition is scarcer than the English, and arguably cooler.
