No, I’m David Bailey!





It was part of a pr stunt to launch a new Samsung camera and saw iconic photographer David Bailey joined by more than 140 other David Bailey's from around the country including the 63 year-old from Woodspeen.
Sadly, the record for the same namesakes, held by 162 Martha Stewart's, was not broken.
But each of the David Baileys were given one of the new camera's for taking part and helped film a television advert, currently being aired.
The David Baileys, who included everyone from painters and DJs, to a priest and an amateur astronomer aged between 15 and 74, have also now been set a series of weekly online photography assignments designed to help them improve their photography.
Local David Bailey said it was disappointing that they did not manage to break the record.
He said: "It was bizarre because I didn't know anybody there but they were all other David Bailey's.
"I found it quite remarkable that you could be in a group of people that you have nothing in common with but your name.
"It was a great social experiment."
