Through the Lens: Denis O’Regan (Featuring David Bowie)

Watch Denis O’Regan, one of the most iconic rock and roll photographers share his David Bowie stories.

Denis O’Regan stands out as one of the most prolific tour photographers of all time, capturing iconic moments on the road with legends like Bob Marley, KISS, The Rolling Stones, Queen, and Paul McCartney. However, amidst these giants, one artist towered above the rest – David Bowie.

Watch the latest episode of Gibson TV’s “Through the Lens” to hear how Denis was given unrestricted access to David Bowie and get a glimpse into rarely-before-seen images of both onstage performances and intimate moments. Learn what it was like to get unfiltered access to one of the most iconic frontmen of all time and how David Bowie gave Denis complete access to photograph all aspects of tour life on the Serious Moonlight Tour in 1983.

See never-before-seen images of David Bowie boxing, the famous Gothenburg Ullevi stadium shows, the iconic shots taken in Australia, Singapore and the stills used in the Moonage Daydream documentary and, as Denis puts it, a side of David Bowie that “no one had ever seen before.” For fans of David Bowie and those who caught him on the Serious Moonlight Tour, this mini-documentary on the photographer who was there alongside him is an incredible insight into David Bowie’s worldwide concert tour in support of his album “Let’s Dance.”

Absolutely brilliant interview and piece, thanks so much to the team who created it and to Denis for sharing his most amazing experience

If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms and tremble like a flower .

Such fantastic shots, but you really can't go wrong when you have the most charismatic and photogenic subject in front of you.

PS. This was not the first time MJ met Bowie. They first met in 1974 after Jacko and his brothers attended multiple Diamond Dogs concerts at the Universal Amphitheatre.

This had me so scared for a moment that they Tupac'd Bowie. (A.I. resurrection)
