An astonishing 25 photographers from around the world have contributed to this celebration. Their images are accompanied by personal essays and reflections about working with this astonishing artist.

From portraits and album covers, performances, and rehearsals, to rarely seen private moments and candid snapshots, this collection is at once powerful, sentimental, and inspiring. The thoughts and reminiscences of the photographers, many sharing their memories for the first time, give us an insight into this artist unlike any other.

While his sound and style evolved throughout his career from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke two facts never changed: he was an innovator, and photographers adored him. This book pays homage to this ultimate icon.
