PEOPLE - THE HUMAN CONDITION



I am starting a new section in my Blog today, entitled People, with a look at the work of David Bailey, which inspires me by the way he gets up close to his subjects. I've added a link to his website, where there are many fantastic portraits to view.http://www.davidbaileyphotography.com/
This portrait of Bill Brandt by David Bailey , taken in 1982, is a Bromide print, which fascinates me because it is a side portrait with a huge amount of contrast, and very up close and personal.
A Bromide print is one which uses paper containing Silver Bromide that is sensitive to light.
