I snuck this image in between takes towards the end of ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’ shoot.I used a cheap Vivitar 200mm lens so as not to get in anybody’s way, including the excellent stills cameraman David James.

Harper ★★★★★

That tight, candid framing really makes it feel like you're right there on set with him during a quiet moment. The vintage lens gives the whole print a raw, 70s documentary texture that perfectly suits the mood.

Victoria C. ★★★★★

The grain from that inexpensive 200mm lens gives this shot a raw, documentary feel that suits Bowie’s alien character perfectly. It’s like catching a private moment between scenes, with his makeup and expression still fully in character. Really glad I grabbed this print—it’s a quiet, haunting piece

Samuel G. ★★★★★

That cheap Vivitar lens really captured something raw—you can see the focus is slightly soft on the edges, which makes the whole frame feel like a stolen moment. It’s such an intimate behind-the-scenes look at his exhaustion after a long shoot.
