Work

Photographer

In 2013 Bailey-Gates met photographer Ryan McGinley and became a protégé of the artist.[5] Bailey-Gates later debuted his body of work "A Horse The Rough" with New York Times in 2018. The pictures referenced early motion-study photographs "without the gender norms traditional to classical portraiture".[6]

In 2021, Bailey-Gates’ first solo exhibition, "A Glint In The Kindling", was hosted at The Ravestijn Gallery, in Amsterdam.[7] [8] Chantal McStay, in a New York Times Style Magazine review of the exhibition, stated the photographs on display "evoked the aesthetics of classical portraiture as they upend conventions of gender and beauty."[9] This body of work was published as the inaugural book by Pinch publishing in 2021.[10]

In 2021 Bailey-Gates was the subject of homophobic backlash after releasing a self portrait commissioned for a Valentino campaign.[11] The brand's designer, Pierpaolo Piccioli, condemned the backlash over the Valentino image.[12]

Horace D. Ballard, in Aperture Magazine, describes Bailey-Gates’ photography as redefining traditional portraiture through "queer, neoclassical portraits" and notes his specialties in portraiture, studio and tableau photography.[13]

Model

Bailey-Gates has modeled for the brands DKNY and CK One[14] as well as for the publications i-D, Arena Homme +, and Interview.[15] In 2015 Bailey-Gates was photographed by Terry Richardson for an editorial in Vogue Hommes International.[16] In 2016, Michael Bailey-Gates appeared in his boyfriend Thomas Whiteside's book Route 1, Mike and India.[17]
