Series: Bowie Unseen Arty-Fact: This stunning shot of David Bowie is from Markus' photo session for the cover of "Heathen", released in 2002. "[David] is one of the very few celebrities that I have worked with who personally got involved, and was extremely communicative and very hands-on in the process. He asked if I could come over to a Broadway recording studio and listen to some tracks. I went over the next day. I wandered around the old, understated recording studio to find Bowie and his producer, Tony Visconti, in one of the rooms. Bowie said that wanted to play some of the new songs for me before discussing the album art. The mental image of Bowie sitting by a window, smoking cigarettes while his producer played the rough mixes from the board, is a memory that I could never forget. After listening to almost the entire album together, we started talking about the shoot. He had many ideas and was very precise about them." ~ Markus Klinko Source: "How we photographed David Bowie with wild wolves" by Markus Klinko, GQ Magazine, 2002 Price: On Applicaation

"David Bowie, Light The Way" 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

"Iman, Fire" by Markus Klinko, 2001 Arty-Fact: "It was the late spring of 2001 when I met Angelina Jolie’s famous make-up artist, Paul Starr, on a shoot for 'Interview Magazine' in New York. He asked me if I had ever worked with Iman, another client of his, and suggested that he would take my portfolio over to her house, just a few blocks down the street from my studio. “The next day, Iman called me on the phone and said that she wanted to meet me and talk about a project. I was very excited to see the legendary supermodel in-person and was anxious to hear what she had in mind. When she arrived at the studio, I was shocked that she was even more stunning than the photos. She was very complimentary of my work and explained that she had been working on her first book, 'I Am Iman'. She had contributions from virtually every great fashion photographer in the world already, from Helmut Newton to Steven Meisel, but she wanted me to shoot the cover of the book. I couldn't be more flattered, but also felt the pressure to create something amazing with her. We scheduled the shoot for the following week.” ~ Markus Klinko Source: "How we photographed David Bowie with wild wolves" by Markus Klinko, GQ Magazine, 2016

Series: Bowie Unseen Arty-Fact: This moving shot of David Bowie is from Markus' photo session for the cover of "Heathen", released in 2002. When asked about why David wanted to be shot as a blind man Markus explained: "It was his [David's] idea. What he tried to bring across with this artwork was a man who lost belief, a man who no longer believes in the rules of religion, politics, all of that. His blind eyes represent his loss of belief, no longer being on track with what you’re supposed to believe. For the actual album cover image, he has strong references based on Man Ray. He showed me Man Ray images. He took a selfie in his bedroom before our shooting session that he was proud of. We used it for the initial setup. It was planned for that shot, he wanted it to look exactly how he wanted it. I helped him achieve that. He said: “you have me until 5pm and you can do whatever you want.” So, I had time to bring my own ideas to the table, but his main album cover was very precise."
