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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese photos are humble and unrehearsed, continuing the spirit of Bailey's \u003cem\u003eDemocracy\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cem\u003e8 Minutes\u003c\/em\u003e resists formulaic, over-designed coffee-table publications. Bailey's roguish message: what you see is what you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Bailey, born in London in 1938, is one of the most successful photographers of his generation. By the 1960s his work, especially for \u003cem\u003eVogue\u003c\/em\u003e, had already made him a cult figure. His numerous books include \u003cem\u003eTrouble and Strife\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNudes\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIf We Shadows\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Lady Is a Tramp\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eDavid Bailey's Rock 'n' Roll Heroes\u003c\/em\u003e.
