*Illustrates Brian Duffy's five different photographic shoots with
David Bowie, documenting Bowie's career and pioneering reinvention,
as well as Duffy's special relationship with the artist over almost
a decade*Includes some of the most famous Bowie images together
without takes and rare shots "Talking about a creative session is
like talking about a boxing match. It happened because there was a
little bit of magic in the room that night. I'll say it myself,
it's a fucking great cover."Brian Duffy Brian Duffy defined the
image of the 1960s, and was as famous as the stars he photographed.
Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, he is recognized as
one of the innovators of "documentary" fashion photography, a style
which revolutionized fashion imagery and furthermore the fashion
industry. Duffy's most famous photograph dates from the 1970s and
is the iconic and revolutionary cover of David Bowie's album
Aladdin Sane, a shot that became the defining look of Bowie's long
career, and has been referred to as the Mona Lisa of pop. The
photographer and the rock star collaborated on four other projects:
Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Scary Monsters (and
Super Creeps) and Lodger. They worked together during the pivotal
years of Bowie's career; when the king of glam was assuming and
discarding extraordinary personas, Duffy was capturing them all.
Written by David Bowie's biographer, Kevin Cann, Duffy Bowie: Five
Sessions features anecdotes and stories from those attending the
shoots-including Tony Defries (Bowie's manager at the time of Ziggy
Stardust); Celia Philo (designer) & Philip Castle (airbrush
artist) from the famous Aladdin Sane shoot; Francis Newman (Duffy's
studio manager); May Routh (costume designer) from The Man Who Fell
to Earth; Geoff MacCormack (musician and Bowie's childhood friend);
Derek Boshier (art director of Lodger); Natasha Kornilof costume
designer for Scary Monsters; Edward Bell (artist); Steve Strange
(musician) and Duffy's son, Chris, who also worked on the Scary
Monsters session. Included are many unseen images and behind the
scenes photographs. "It wasn't until we saw the contact sheets the
next day I remember thinking, God this is spectacular. You just
knew you had cracked it, boy, did you know it."Celia Philo
