Sukita met Bowie in the early seventies and by 1980 had photographed Bowie on almost 20 different occasions. A bond was formed, so Sukita's camera was never far from the centre of Bowie's life and work in the decades that followed. ‘So many years. But that's not all... I look forward to the years to come.’ Masayoshi Sukita Sukita, who has taken centre stage at both private rehearsals and some of Bowie's most spectacular performances, has also captured informal moments - an underground ride in Kyoto or a birthday party with Iggy Pop - as well as studio portraits taken during countless sessions together, including the iconic Heroes album cover. ‘Whenever Sukita asked me to do a session, I conjured up in my mind's eye the lovely, creative, big-hearted man who always made these potentially boring affairs so relaxed and painless.’ David Bowie Over 80% of the photographic selection presented in this 300-page, large-format book has never been seen or published before. All the images in Speed of Life, collected in sessions between 1972 and more recently, are printed in the highest quality and presented with Bowie and Sukita's words throughout. #summermusicfestival
