Description
The premise of this book couldn't be simpler: 130 photographs of Damien Hirst taken by David Bailey during a single shoot lasting eight minutes. Each pose is spontaneous and determined not by Bailey but by Hirst, who mocks the camera with his tongue poked out, mouth open wide and hands pulling at his cheeks.
These photos are humble and unrehearsed, continuing the spirit of Bailey's Democracy in which Bailey photographed a cross-section of naked subjects, shunning issues of composition, lighting, and digital manipulation. Renouncing text and even a title page, 8 Minutes resists formulaic, over-designed coffee-table publications. Bailey's roguish message: what you see is what you get.
David Bailey, born in London in 1938, is one of the most successful photographers of his generation. By the 1960s his work, especially for Vogue, had already made him a cult figure. His numerous books include Trouble and Strife, Nudes, If We Shadows, The Lady Is a Tramp, and David Bailey's Rock 'n' Roll Heroes. Steidl has published Birth of the Cool, Chasing Rainbows, Locations, Bailey's Democracy, Havana, NY JS DB 62, Pictures That Mark Can Do, and Is That So Kid.

About the Author
London-born David Bailey (b. 1938) is widely acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of contemporary photography, having shot some of the most iconic portraits of the last six decades. Bailey’s early work helped both define and capture 1960s London, when he made stars of a new generation of models, including Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree. Bailey channeled the energy of London’s informal street culture to create a new style of casual coolness. Drawing inspiration from Modernism, he injected movement and immediacy into his work by using a very direct, cropped perspective. Bailey’s interests extend to commercials, film, painting, and sculpture.
