“The Ritual” by Markus Klinko, 1998 The Art Scoop: A woman wearing stark white make-up gazes directly at the viewer against a dark background, with heavy black make-up dramatically framing one eye. An elaborate black lace headpiece rises and twists above her head, while sheer black fabric wraps across her body. Wisps of smoke curl around her, creating an eerie, theatrical and dreamlike atmosphere.

In 2004, he photographed pop superstar Britney Spears. The photo session with Britney was for a campaign to promote her Onyx Hotel Tour, in conjunction with the release of the pop star's album In The Zone. Britney had clear ideas of what she wanted - a dark, magical world with inspirations including enchanted gardens, jazz clubs, ice castles and haunted bedrooms. The Onyx Hotel Tour was the fifth concert tour by the American entertainer. The tour was divided into seven segments: 'Check-In', 'Mystic Lounge', 'Mystic Garden', 'The Onyx Zone', 'Security Cameras', 'Club' and the 'Encore'. 'Mystic Lounge' featured a homage to Cabaret and other musicals while remixing some of Britney's early hits.

“David Bowie, The Heavens (B&W)” by Markus Klinko, 2001 Series: Bowie Unseen Arty-Fact: When asked about his first encounter with David Bowie: "I remember it very well, like it was yesterday. I was surprised..I didn’t expect to meet him. Iman brought him along for a book editing session. I photographed her for the cover of her book, 'I am Iman', in 2001. He came up the stairs, I didn’t know he was coming. He was very lively, friendly and super charismatic, as one would expect. I was giddy and excited that he was there. I wasn’t prepared. Once he looked at Iman’s edits, he seemed impressed. Then he asked me flat out: 'Do you want to shoot my next album cover?' It was a series of unexpected events. He was clearly polite, open, talkative, a very smart and nice guy." [Source: "Markus Klinko on Bowie Unseen" by Nadja Sayej, Vanity Fair, 2019]
