I would argue that Bailey's work around this time, epitomises the look of this period. If you're looking to recreate a look that is redolent of the mid 60's you cannot go wrong if you use Bailey's approach...
- Black and white film - FP4+ or TRI-X
- Shot on Medium format 6x6
- Bailey-esque lighting - pay particular attention to ratios, shadows, direction and catch-lights in the eyes. Simple single or 2 light set-up with the use of small reflectors or point light.
- Plain backgrounds - white or grey.
- The inclusion of the film rebate at the printing stage.
- Styling/poses/expression.
- Printed on Fibre based paper with large white surround/mount.
In order to address the criteria (Below in box) through your research - you need to investigate and identify the equipment, materials and techniques used by Bailey whilst making observations relating to H&S issues that would have been evident in his practice.
In your research identify why Bailey is so significant - why is he one of the greatest photographers and why was he so Ground-breaking?
Also look at the significant changes that were happening in society as a whole during the same period. The Pill, the abortion law, economic revival after WWII, Mods and Rockers.
