Contact sheets of photos taken of John and Paul by David Bailey on 21st January 1965, for his ‘Box of Pin Ups’ project, a portfolio of 36 portraits of ‘Swinging London’s’ elite, who as the cover stated, ‘belong to Bailey’s own world of fashion, pop music and the Ad Lib [nightclub]’. Other icons in the collection included Micheal Caine, Jean Shrimpton, Mick Jagger and Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

“I told John to close his eyes because I could feel this tension between him and Paul. I did them (together) afterwards; I got them looking different ways because there was such a tension.”
ㅡ David Bailey about John Lennon and Paul McCartney photoshoot in 1965
sooooo…what is he saying, he had to FORCE them to break eye contact? to ease the ~tension~? was making them nuzzle their heads together ALSO to ease the ~~tension~~? or was said nuzzling THEIR idea? because there was so much ~~~~~~tension~~~~~~ between them?
David Bailey is a bit of a knob who didn’t like Paul and was imo projecting that onto John.
right? but it’s so weird he would stick to this “yeah I had to tell John to close his eyes and look away because they were so uncomfortable with each other” (or whatever the hell his point is) when…..this very same photoshoot contains the cuddle photos. like, does he think we’re dumb and slanting the story on purpose thinking we won’t notice? or is HE just really dumb, and telling himself lies that suit his ego?? I dont get it
Oh they also got to choose their own poses for the photos and he just gave insight and made them move a bit so they themselves decided “why don’t we just cuddle real quick how bout that”
grey cat, gold eyes!!
