David Bailey: Tears and Tears

Product detailed description
David Bailey never cared much for the slow and methodical process of test strips in the darkroom. Instead of carefully timing exposures, he simply tore pieces from the paper, letting instinct guide him. As he famously put it, “I would usually have it in the bag after three tears.”
Over the years, Bailey preserved these torn strips—what he called “test tears”—re-fixing and washing them to keep their raw, unpredictable quality. This book collects the most striking of these fragments, turning some of his iconic motifs into captivating, abstract studies of texture, tone, and chance.
