A visual documentary of Peru and its people from British fashion and portrait photographer David Bailey
This new title by David Bailey (born 1938) originates from two fashion shoots on location in Peru--the first in the late 1960s, the other from the late '80s, for Tatler. Having been struck by the natural beauty of the people and places on these fashion assignments, Bailey set out to document people around the world in their natural habitats.
Bailey's Peru collects his photography from those visits: a mixture of landscape, fashion and portrait photography that showcases Bailey's immense and multifaceted talents. In both color and black and white, Bailey captures and celebrates the undeniable beauty of the land and its people.
