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.

David Bowie was shot at Tribeca Studios, New York.

'I photographed David Bowie in 1996. A few years later he recommended me to his wife Iman to photograph her. We set up a meeting. This was before he had bought an house in London, but I went to their hotel to meet them both, and it was like stepping back in time to the 1940s. With butler service and secret code names done, I was just tucking into the biscuits when this amazingly beautiful woman came over to introduce herself, ‘Hi Ian, I’m Iman.’ Bowie followed shortly after, this at least made me feel a bit more comfortable, having had met him previously. But I was just like stunned while, so early in the morning, how good looking Bowie looked; it was like he had just got out of bed and stumbled down a bit bedraggled, but still looking like the coolest human being you have ever met.'
