gavin evans The session with Bowie lasted 30 minutes. In his dressing room he offered me a photo-exclusive; saphire blue contact lenses- I accepted. Bowie was accompanied by Brian Eno. They were in an ebullient mood. David was down-to-earth and without pretensions. On his way out he spotted a serving tray lying on the floor and proceeded to put it behind his head - creating a halo. The tray was quickly gaffered to a light stand and lo and behold David transformed into the Messiah of Glam. Images from the session have gone on to be published world-wide on covers of magazines, books and biographies. I have been informed that the portrait chosen for the V&A ‘Bowie Is’ cover hangs in his Manhattan office.
