Opis

In 1990, on their third world tour together, photographer Denis ORegan told David Bowie what inspired him to take up rock photography. Its because of you, said Denis. He was inspired by Bowies 1973 Ziggy Stardust concert at the Hammersmith Odeon. Bowies response: Nah, youll probably tell Bono the same thing tomorrow night.In Ricochet: Bowie 1983, the official photographer of one of the most celebrated musicians of all time reveals intimate stories and pictures that offer an exclusive insight into David Bowie the man and musician. Taken on the Serious Moonlight Tour - Bowies largest ever tour that took in 99 concerts in over 60 cities - Deniss photos provide a thrilling, intimate view of life on the road with a unique pop icon. From capturing the theatre and mime of Bowie on stage to unguarded snapshots of the artist at his most human, every single image in Ricochet was personally approved by Bowie himself, and the result is a music photography book like no other.Witty, poignant, and beautifully produced, Ricochet is a rare and spirited look into the life of an inimitable artist, whose music and performances have inspired - and continue to inspire - generations of listeners around the world.

O autorze

Denis O'Regan has toured the world as official photographer to David Bowie, Queen, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Duran Duran. He was the official photographer at Live Aid, and continued that tradition as official photographer at the Concert For Diana, MTV European Music Awards, and most recently Download, Coachella and Glastonbury festivals. In an eventful career - and purely in the line of duty - Denis has enjoyed dinner for two in Japan with Joni Mitchell, picknicked with David Bowie in Australia, partied with Prince in a park in Minnesota, and argued with Bob Marley in his native Jamaica. (They made up.) He was known as 'Doris' by Freddie Mercury, 'Reg' by Duran Duran, 'Scoop' by Bob Geldof and, on one occasion, 'Yob' by Keith Richards.
