Markus Klinko Bowie photos

Photographer Markus Klinko has an exhibit on display in Dallas through June 22nd called, Icons: Bowie to Beyoncé featuring photos of various celebrities including — you guessed it, Bowie and Beyoncé. I didn’t recognize the name but came to leader that Klinko was a prolific photographer of Bowie during his later years. His photos were used in relation to albums such as Heathen and The Next Day. I’ve included several here, but to see even more visit his web page (the text is linked to the web page).

These are great photos, which stand as art for their composition, lighting and use of space. But they are also another example of the image of Bowie as art and Bowie as cultural phenomena.
