Fashion photography became a very big part of the 60’s and many photographers used this style of photography during the 60’s. Photographers generally became as famous as celebrities. David Bailey was a very iconic fashion photographer, he shot images of Micheal Caine and Mick Jagger. He also photographed local weddings at the time.
