Background information, statement by the photographer, David BAILEY
"The years passed with great ease and charm. I was fortunate to have such a willing and wonderful partner in this adventure together in my wife. It did not come about by any plan. (...) The images just come together, and in my dyslexic mind, I have the impression that they are supposed to be exactly where they are. The average Polaroid takes a few minutes to develop. This book took almost 40 years." (© David BAILEY)
Content
For 39 years, David BAILEY has photographed his wife Catherine on Polaroid film. The book has evolved organically over the decades with no particular purpose in mind. The result is this visual poem, a testament to their collaboration and personal experiences." (slightly adapted text, © Steidl Verlag, 2021)
