Bowie Unseen

It's a collection of rare, original images from Bowie's first album shoot. They're beautiful in their own right -- with Bowie's unmistakable features, as yet untouched by the passage of time. But they're even more fascinating in light of what we know the artist will become -- the androgynous daredevil of Ziggy Stardust.-- "MetroSource Magazine"
Our appetite for anything Bowie has not lessened in the wake of the superstar's tragic passing last year, if anything we are hungrier than ever for any kind of connection to the beloved singer and as a result are seeing a surge in Bowie nostalgia -- primarily, rare or unseen images of the Brit.-- "Paper Magazine"
The icon died after a cancer battle in January 2016 as a champion for the weird and a musical hero for rock stars and mortals alike. But when he debuted with his self-titled LP on June 1, 1967, he did so as David Bowie... the photos taken during its cover shoot have resurfaced, offering a new look at the then-20-year-old as he was still finding his makeup-loving, dramatic-posing, avant-garde identity.--Madison Vain "Entertainment Weekly"
The legendary singer, songwriter and actor's life was very much out in the open, but just last year, an unseen series of photographs was released by the famous photographer Gerald Fearnley. The rare photos, taken 50 years ago for Bowie's first album cover shoot, are now being published in a book, released on Aug. 1, titled "Bowie Unseen: Portraits of an Artist as a Young Man."--Melanie Moccia "AXS"
The playful energy of a young Bowie comes alive through each of the images, delivering a strong sense of nostalgia to each page. The man in the photos, although familiar, feels like a new version of Bowie altogether, one quite separate from his glamorous stage persona.--Dominique Norman "Observer"
This was Bowie pre-Ziggy Stardust and stardom, shooting the cover for his first album. "I was the only one he knew with a studio camera," remembers the photographer Gerald Fearnley.--Chloe Fein "The Cut"
