David Bailey is a world renowned portrait and fashion photographer.
He is perhaps known for his use of high contrast high key portraits.

Bailey's approach to portraiture seems to be very clean aesthetically and very crisp. He very rarely has anything but a plain background, usually white, as he wanted to draw 100% of the audience attention on the subject.

Bailey seems to have absolute control in taking his images, to expose skin so high key on a white background without losing detail amazes me.
He seems to pose and shape the subjects to frame them perfectly, particularly hair and styling and makes use of negative space to acheive the same.
