We chose to look at David Bailey as he uses black and white photography with high contrasting light. We are looking at creating our trailer in black and white.

We recreated some of Bailey's photographs here by using artificial lighting to create the high contrast of dark and light. We decided to use the photographs of Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson and The Kray Brothers as they all use interesting lighting. The top photograph using straight on lighting, the middle and bottom both use lighting from the right side.
