On the anniversary of David Bowie's death, join photographer & film director Tony McGee, to hear about his life and times working with David,
Mc Gee, whose photographer career spans over four decades, had unique access to the star thanks to a close professional relationship and friendship. After meeting Bowie at a cocktail party, Tony was drafted in to shoot the publicity for Bowie’s 1983 Let’s Dance tour. Several shoots followed and Mc Gee’s most famous images of Bowie now reside in the National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection. The pair went on to have friendship of more than thirty years and we will hear about the shoots, about how the two worked together, the importance of music in the sessions and stories from their friendship down the years.
The evening will be hosted by cultural commentator Travis Elborough and we will be joined by musician and author Dr. Leah Kardos whose most recent book, Blackstar Theory takes a close look at Bowie’s ambitious last works.
