Andrew Graham-Dixon with David Bailey

[@davegibbs6423]

There is something so honest about him. Wish I had him as a teacher when I studied photography.

He was cantankerous at 25!

It's not the camera it's the bloody shot

[@arricammarques1955]

It's the photographer, not the gear.

[@Synchrodipity]

You can't call it art photography, but you can call them gambling casinos ;)

[@robertbailey8003]

Anyone know what camera he's using?

[@MrJamimonster]

Robert Bailey it's a leica, not sure which model

[@robertbailey8003]

Thank you Robbie. After I posted the above question I looked more closely at the video and did a bit of googleing. I did get that it was a Leica but the exact model is a mystery. I think it's an M6 film but all the pictures I can find show 1 sync socket on the back and the one in the film has two. Maybe they do a special Bailey version for a zillion pounds.

[@jacovanlith5082]

Just a Leica M4-P. Mr David Bailey is a photographer and no snob, so he will never buy a customized camera.

[@edwardcharles9764]

Robert Bailey it's not the camera! F**k the camera - it's never the camera it's the person behind it!

[@laurenallen7346]

Yup-he uses a Pentax.
