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, and so continue the sprit 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 was born in 1938 in London. He taught himself photography, and in 1959, following a year serving with the Royal Air Force in Malaysia, he began his long and distinguished career when he was appointed as a photographic assistant at the John French Studio in London. Bailey started as a fashion photographer for Vogue Magazine in 1960, and subsequently as a freelance photographer who has worked for every major publication in the world. From 1966 he also directed television commercials and documentaries. In 1975 he became a Fellow of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers. In 1979 he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. Bailey has held numerous personal exhibitions in London and worldwide (Finland, Sweden, the United States of America, Germany and Italy). He has also produced numerous publications, from his first publication Box of Pinups in 1964 to Archive Two Locations in 2003 and Bailey's Democracy due to be published Nov 2005. His television work includes documentaries on photographers and directors including Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol and Luciano Visconti. He also wrote and directed a short film called The Lady is a Tramp, to coincide with the publication of his book of the same name in 1995. David is one of the world's leading photographers and short film directors. In 2001 he was awarded a CBE in recognition of his achievements, and the University of Plymouth is proud to be able to add its own recognition of his outstanding contribution by awarding him an honorary degree.**********Steidl, Göttingen. 2009.
