David Bowie – A London Day

On the 13^th December 1992, photographer Kevin Davies followed David Bowie during the day, capturing over 450 photos of the music icon who was preparing for the release of his 18^th studio album, ‘Black Tie White Noise’.

 

The pictures were taken to promote the album and at the end of the day Davies asked to capture Bowie “just as you are”.

 

Bowie then approved a selection of images that were used for promotional purposes and press use. The rest – over 400 – of the photos went to a storage room to stay there until 2020.

During the COVID_19 lockdown Kevin Davies took the opportunity to re-discover his past jobs and that was the time when he found the perfectly preserved forgotten photographs of the singer.

 

Now, 20 carefully selected photos are on display at The Fitzrovia Chapel, many of them are those Bowie selected himself to promote his album back in 1992.

It’s an amazing addition that the photos are displayed at a 19^th-century awe-inspiring chapel in the pulsing heart of the city. The Fitzrovia Chapel is a place where people can leave London’s busy streets to find peace and contemplation and admire the glory of the Chapel.

 

The beautiful Chapel gives an additional meaning to the long-forgotten photos…a single day of an icon, frozen in time, preserved for the eternity.
