David Bowie is one of those rare and true musical chameleons who has kept people of all different generations captivated with his many disguises: folksinger, androgyne, alien, decadent, blue-eyed soul man, modern rock star - each one spawning a league of imitators. His most innovative, theatrical and daring album Ziggy Stardust made him one of rock music's greatest icons. "There's a Starman waiting in the sky," says Bowie in that strange voice filled with premonitions. "He'd like to meet us but he's afraid he'd blow our minds." And he was right he did blow all our minds. 'This guy is unbelievable, almost like chatting to your best mate within five seconds of meeting him. I spent half a day in studio with him; at one point he picked me up and threw me around the studio. I had to tell him that we had to get on - this felt a bit strange telling your musical hero to behave. One thing I did find funny was the big truck of clothes that was sent for him to choose his outfit from. There were more than 20 full wardrobes of clothes arriving all at once. It was almost like Elton John was appearing. Anyhow all I ended up asking him to wear was a black t-shirt and trousers - keep it simple being my philosophy.'

Ian Davies was born in Salford in the North West of England. He began his career photographing the local Manchester bands of the late 1980's and in particular touring with the Happy Mondays. After moving to London in the early 1990's, Ian began working for leading cutting edge magazines, The Face, i-D, Vibe, Spin and RayGun, photographing many of the world's leading music and fashion artists, including Bjork, Sir Paul Smith, David Bowie and Jean Paul Gaultier. His work for the American magazine RayGun and MTV's Blah Blah Blah helped to develop his "catching the moment" and "raw energy" style of photography and this brought him into contact with both fashion and advertising agencies, allowing him the opportunity to work on campaigns for MTV, Sony, Marlboro, Carling and fashion campaigns for J.Lindeberg, K-Swiss, Umbro and Levi's amongst others. Ian's work is internationally recognised from shooting with Maximo Park for the artwork of their debut album 'A Certain Trigger' and Manchester band James for the artwork 'Whiplash' to his portraits of David Bowie for a book project for RayGun and portraits of Joe Strummer, Deborah Harry, Amy Winehouse, Michael Stipe, Beck, Charlie Watts and Aerosmith.
