About
Meeting in the early seventies, by 1980 Sukita had photographed Bowie on nearly 20 separate occasions. A connection was formed such that over the ensuing decades Sukita’s camera has never been far from the focal point of Bowie’s life and work. ‘So many years. But it doesn’t end here… I’m looking forward to the years to come.’ Masayoshi Sukita Present at both private rehearsals and centre stage for some of Bowie’s most spectacular performances, Sukita’s lens has also preserved informal moments – a subway ride in Kyoto, or a birthday celebration with Iggy Pop – as well as studio portraits created during countless sittings together, including the iconic Heroes album cover.
