Official photographer to music legend David Bowie, Denis O'Regan presents a personal edit from his unrivalled collection of photographs. Accompanying Bowie on two world tours and enjoying a decades-long relationship with the star, no one photographed Bowie more than Denis O'Regan. As Bowie himself once remarked, 'Denis, Rock 'n' Roll is in your blood'.

From the door of Olympic Studios, where Bowie recorded Diamond Dogs in 1974, to live stadium shows in the 1990s, Denis's full archive is at last opened and many unseen images revealed for the first time. With a foreword by guitarist Carlos Alomar, who collaborated with Bowie throughout his career, David Bowie by Denis O'Regan tells Bowie's musical story in pictures with O'Regan's own words relaying his experience of documenting that incredible journey.

Author of the hugely successful Ricochet: David Bowie 1983 (Particular Books, 2018), O'Regan has toured with the biggest stars from The Rolling Stones and Queen to Pink Floyd and Duran Duran, to name a few. But it is his photographs of David Bowie, taken over two decades at over 200 concerts worldwide, that he is best known for. David Bowie the showman and David behind-the scenes, O'Regan has captured it all in this showcase of one of the world's most talented performers.

AUTHOR: Denis O'Regan documented the punk explosion of the mid 1970s, toured Europe with the Rolling Stones on their only tour of the eighties and covered David Bowie's entire Serious Moonlight world tour. In the nineties, Denis shot Pink Floyd's final tour, and into the 21st century was commissioned as the official photographer to the Coachella, Download and Glastonbury festivals. He has been published and exhibited globally and produces limited edition books and fine art prints, which are available at his London gallery. His Ricochet: David Bowie boxset is featured in the Victoria & Albert's permanent collection. Denis's other books include Ricochet: David Bowie 1983 (Particular Books, 2018) and Duran Duran: Careless Memories (ACC Art Books, 2022).

Reviews for David Bowie by Denis O'Regan

""It comes ahead of the release of his new book, David Bowie by Denis O’Regan, which charts [David Bowie]’s career through O’Regan’s lens over more than three decades."" - The Telegraph """"""Official photographer to music legend David Bowie, Denis O'Regan presents a personal edit from his unrivalled collection of photographs. """"David Bowie by Denis O'Regan tells Bowie's musical story in pictures, with O'Regan's own words relaying his experience of documenting that incredible journey."""""" - Arts & Collections Magazine ""With David Bowie by Denis O'Regan (out Aug. 5 on ACC Art Books), the British photographer opens his archives for a deeper look at Bowie and his many incarnations. Covering two decades and 200 concerts, the shots in the book are intimate and iconic — and many are previously unpublished."" - Rolling Stone """"""...one of the most stunning and possibly heaviest books in the Bowie canon."""" """"These stunning photos are beautifully presented in this hard-back 12” 270+ page book, and are accompanied by O’Regan’s first-person account of their time together."""""" - God is in the TV Rolling Stone's Instagram featured David Bowie by Denis O'Regan. - Instagram ""...a heartfelt and meticulous look back at touring with the iconic singer over three decades — in the 1970s, at the end of his Isolar II World Tour; in the 1980s, on the Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider world tours; and in the 1990s, during the Tin Man and Outside tours."" - People.com Rolling Stone's Instagram featured David Bowie by Denis O'Regan. - Instagram """"""Rock photographer Denis O’Regan’s David Bowie by Denis O’Regan goes beyond the usual tour photography, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse of Bowie on and off stage."""" """"This stunning new photo book reminds us that behind the legend, the glamour, the constant reinvention, the theatrics, and the untouchable cool, Bowie was human, brilliant, yes, but still just a man."""" """"At a time when so many posthumous releases feel overly commercial, this book stands out. It honours Bowie as an artist in motion, always evolving and always searching. O’Regan was lucky to be there, but we’re the lucky ones. He’s brought back something truly special, not just pictures of Bowie, but a real sense of what it was like to be close to him."""" """"This large-format book is so beautifully made that I was scared to unwrap it for fear of leaving fingerprints on the pages. It almost needs to be handled with white gloves. There is a perfect balance of colour and black and white. It’s as elegant and considered as Bowie himself, a mixture of gallery-level quality and personal scrapbook charm."""""" - Louder Than War ""300 pages with an elegant large-format layout and a preface by guitarist Carlos Alomar might be enough to warrant purchasing this volume."" - SentireAscoltare
