The largest ever exhibition of the portraits of leading photographer David Bailey is to be a major show at the Scottish National Gallery next year.
Hundreds of photographs by Bailey, one of the world's most famous photographers renowned for his images from the 1960s, will be on show from July to October 2015.
The show will include more than 250 portraits including rooms devoted to The Rolling Stones, Bailey's travels, his wife Catherine, and "icons of fashion and the arts".
The announcement came as the exhibition, called Bailey's Stardust, opens at the National Portrait Gallery in London this week.
The portraits have been selected by Bailey, 76, from the subjects he captured over the past five decades: photographers, actors, writers, musicians, filmmakers, fashion figures, designers, models, artists and people encountered on his travels.
Bailey will be making new silver gelatin prints of his black-and-white portraits for the exhibition.
Christopher Baker, director of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, said: "We are delighted to be hosting this landmark exhibition of the full range of David Bailey's outstanding photography. From iconic portraits of the 1960s and '70s to his later global projects this exhibition will demonstrate the extraordinary range and consistent quality of his work."
Sandy Nairne, the director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, said: 'Bailey's Stardust is a very special event. It offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the widest range of the mercurial portraits created by David Bailey."
