Saturday 24 September 2022 04:52, UKAs one of the most prolific photographers of all time, David Bailey has snapped some of the most famous people in the world - from Mick Jagger to the late Queen Elizabeth.
Now, as he prepares to open a new exhibition in London of his work, Bailey has sat down with Sky News to talk about some of his most iconic pictures of all time. Bailey, 84, is perhaps best known for his work in the swinging sixties, and has a string of famous photographs - including one of the first snaps of Mick Jagger, before the Rolling Stones had even recorded a song.But despite his vascular dementia diagnosis in 2018, he remains in top form, telling Sky News:"Maybe if I fall over and go blind I might stop - that would be a sign.
"I am getting older... that doesn't mean anything. Some people live until they are 90 and do nothing and some people live until 22, and they are like Van Gogh so what, it makes no difference - it's just the time."Mick Jagger in 1964.
