David Bailey nació en Londres, el 2 de enero de 1938 , se formó en la fotografía como autodidácta, antes de servir en la Fuerza Aérea Real de Malasia en 1957. En 1959se convirtió en asistente de fotografía en el estudio de John French, antes de ser contratado como fotógrafo de moda para la revista Vogue. También hizo una gran cantidad de trabajo independiente.
Junto con Terence Donovan, ayudó a crear el "Swinging London" de la década de 1960: una cultura de la alta moda y las celebridades "chic". Se sociabilizaron con actores y músicos, encontrandose elevados al estatus de celebridades. Juntos fueron los primeros fotógrafos de celebridades reales.
La escena "Swinging London" fue bien reflejado en su caja de Pin-Ups(1964): un cuadro del cartel de 1960 impresiones de celebridades y socialités como Terence Stamp, The Beatles, y notorios mafiosos del East End The Kray twins. El cuadro fue un lanzamiento comercial poco común y único, y refleja el cambio de situación de los fotógrafos que podían vender una colección de grabados de este modo.
En 1966, se hizo la película Blow-Up. La película en cuestión con la labor (y gratificaciones sexuales) de un fotógrafo de moda de Londres que se basó principalmente en Bailey.
Así como en fotografía de moda, Bailey ha sido responsable de arte de grabar los álbumes manga, para los artistas como los Rolling Stones y Marianne Faithfull. También ha dirigido varios comerciales de televisión y documentales.
Bailey se ha casado cuatro veces: en 1960 a Rosemary Bramble, en 1967 con la actriz Catherine Deneuve (divorciado 1972), en 1975 el modelo de Marie Helvin y en 1986 con la actriz Catherine Dyer. Fue galardonado con el CBE en 2001.

- David Bailey (born January 2, 1938) -
Born in London, England, he taught himself photography, before serving with the Royal Air Force in Malaysia in 1957. In 1959 he became a photographic assistant at the John French studio before being contracted as a fashion photographer for Vogue magazine. He also did a large amount of freelance work.
Along with Terence Donovan, he captured, and in many ways helped create the Swinging London of the 1960s: a culture of high fashion and celebrity chic. Both photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers.
The Swinging London scene was aptly reflected in his Box of Pin-Ups (1964): a box of poster-prints of 1960s celebrities and socialites including Terence Stamp, The Beatles, and notorious East End gangsters The Kray Twins. The box was an unusal and unique commercial release, and it reflected the changing status of the photographer that one could sell a collection of prints in this way.
In 1966, the movie Blowup was made. The film concerned itself with the work (and sexual perks) of a London fashion photographer who was largely based on Bailey.
As well as fashion photography, Bailey has been responsible for record album sleeve art, for performers including The Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. He has also directed several television commercials and documentaries.
Bailey has married four times: in 1960 to Rosemary Bramble, in 1967 to the actress Catherine Deneuve (divorced 1972), in 1975 to the model Marie Helvin and in 1986 to the actress Catherine Dyer in 2004. He was awarded the CBE in 2001.
