Event Description

A career retrospective by Bowie’s official photographer Denis O’Regan, an English photographer whose imagery is particularly associated with the punk movement, Queen, David Bowie, Duran Duran, and many more rock n roll luminaries. O'Regan has photographed everyone from AC/DC to ZZ Top, documenting Punk, New Romanticism, Grunge, and Heavy Metal along the way. He has travelled as official photographer to David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Queen and many more. His work has been widely published and exhibited and has photographed David Bowie more than any other photographer, covering over 200 concerts around the world.

In 2021, O'Regan was appointed as the first ever Artist In Residence at London's Royal Albert Hall. The 2018 O’Regan’s 'Ricochet : David Bowie 1983' boxed set was a huge success both in hardback published by Penguin Random House; and as a limited edition boxed set containing five books, limited edition vinyl and fine art prints, published by Moonlight Books. The books comprehensively and intimately document David Bowie's most successful year following the release of his 'Let's Dance' album.  The Ricochet boxed set was the first product to feature the David Bowie estate stamp, and is on display in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s permanent collection in London.

This exhibition was part of The Dublin Bowie Festival 2024 which occurred from Feb 7-11. For more info on the Festival visit: www.dbfest.ie
